* I am an EU citizen, my name is Marco
* I own a flat in Germany in my name bought in 2021
* I am still paying the mortgage in my name.

In a few months my girlfriend, whom we will call Luisa, (also an EU citizen) would like to move in with me, to my house, after she has found a stable job here in Germany.

​

According to the law, once she has moved in I will give her an anmeldung, but I wanted to know what my legal obligations are, considering that:

* Luisa and I are not married and do not intend to be.
* Luisa and I have no children and do not intend to have them
* I don’t want to give Luisa a lease.
* I (Marco) will continue to pay the mortgage myself
* I (Marco) will continue to pay all electricity, telephone, gas, hausgelt contracts by myself
* Luisa, on the other hand, will pay all the food costs in full

​

​

If one day Luisa and I have problems and decide to go our separate ways:

* Since the mortgage is entirely in my name and paid for entirely in my name she will never have any claim on the ownership of the flat correct?
* Should she look for a new place to live, after a reasonable period of time to look for a new place to live, say 1-2 months, as she has no rental agreement, can I simply withdraw the “permission” to live in my house and “nullify” Anmeldung? Or if she wants to cause problems, could she somehow indicate that she has been living in my house with me for several years and has therefore been there for longer?
* In this case should I take legal action to get her to find other accommodation? Is this usually a difficult procedure?

​

I hope nothing happens and that we have a peaceful life until the end of time, but in life you never know!
