Procedure details

A right to move out of the shared accommodation exists by law in accordance with Art. 4 para. 3 sentence 1 of the Reception Act (AufnG) for

  • Families or single parents with at least one minor child after completion of the initial asylum procedure before the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees if deportation is impossible for factual or legal reasons and
  • Persons who are entitled to benefits in accordance with § 1 AsylbLG and the initial asylum procedure has been completed for four years,

if other accommodation (in particular private accommodation), the costs of which do not exceed a reasonable amount, has been proven and the competent authority has been notified of the move at least two months in advance.
This does not generally apply in the case of criminal offences, identity deception or repeated breaches of obligations to cooperate under asylum and residence law (Art. 4 para. 4 sentence 1 AufnG); in these cases, the entitlement to move out is examined on a case-by-case basis.

In addition, in justified exceptional cases in accordance with Art. 4 Para. 5 AufnG, removal from the shared accommodation may be permitted at the discretion of the competent authority. This can be done in particular if

  • illness makes accommodation in shared accommodation unreasonable, accommodation in shared accommodation is inappropriate due to pregnancy,
  • persons who are entitled to benefits in accordance with § 1 AsylbLG have sufficient earned income or assets so that they can support themselves or, if they have a family, their family,
  • spouses or parents and their minor children have different statuses under immigration law and at least one person is entitled to move out of the shared accommodation on the basis of their residence status.

The existence of a justified exceptional case must be proven by appropriate evidence.
However, a justified exceptional case does not generally apply to persons who do not have valid passports, although they could reasonably obtain one, or who do not cooperate in obtaining travel documents (Art. 4 para. 5 sentence 3 AufnG).

All permits to take up residence outside of shared accommodation or decentralized accommodation (in particular private accommodation) are granted subject to revocation, meaning that they can be revoked at any time if the relevant reasons no longer apply. In this case, the person's obligation to live in shared or decentralized accommodation is reinstated.

The government is responsible for determining eligibility to move out or permission to move out in the case of accommodation in state-run shared accommodation in accordance with § 7 Para. 4 S. 1 DVAsyl and the respective district office or independent municipality in the case of accommodation in decentralized accommodation in accordance with § 7 Para. 4 S. 3 DVAsyl if the new place of residence is to be within the previous district / the previous independent municipality. If the relocation is to be from decentralized accommodation and the new place of residence is to be outside the previous district / municipality, the government is again responsible in accordance with § 7 Para. 4 S. 4 DVAsyl.

The determination of eligibility to move out may only be made in consultation with and permission to move out may only be granted in consultation with the relevant immigration authority (§ 7 Para. 4 S. 2 DVAsyl). In addition, the decision is always made in consultation with the district or independent municipality (local authority) in accordance with § 7 Para. 4 S. 1 DVAsyl.

If you are entitled to move out by law in accordance with Art. 4 Para. 3 AufnG, you must notify the responsible government at least 2 months in advance.
