Before moving out, the landlord insisted that we remove the wallpaper. Even after we explained that we had never put up any wallpaper, he still referred to the contract and insisted that, regardless of who installed it, we were responsible for removing it. During this time, he frequently showed the apartment to prospective tenants. We spent considerable time, effort, and money on removal, only to later confirm that it was not wallpaper but painted walls left by previous tenants. Nevertheless, at the handover, the landlord demanded that we pay high repair costs and used this as a reason to withhold our deposit. Do we have anyone here with related experience or knowledge on the rights of tenants? Should we pay the repair costs?

My parents in the UK are having to stipulate in their will what should happen to my share of their estate if I die before they do. I am living with my wife and daughter in Germany. The obvious thing is to leave the significant share to my wife, but I can't find the inheritance tax implications of that. My daughter could I think inherit up to 200,000 Euros tax-free as a grandchild, but my wife - does she get my tax-free "child" allowance? Not sure!

I am an international teacher, working on visa for school in Germany on 2-year contract, ending July 2025. I have statutory TK insurance and was diagnosed in May 2025 with severe cancer. I started cancer treatments and went on Sick Leave from teaching in early June. My visa and TK insurance is set to expire July 2025. What are my options to stay in Germany for another 6 to 12 months to complete cancer treatment? My doctor said the impact of stopping treatment in July would be 'adverse and terminal.' My employer said they can not help in any manner, and I should depart Germany when my visa expires in July. I was diagnosed with cancer while still working. I had another teaching job lined up in the EU, which I had to withdraw from due to my cancer diagnosis and treatment. Looking for advice/support/assistance on how to stay in Germany to complete cancer treatments. Thank you.

That guy is controlling her and my sister can not tell me everything. But I am sure she's in trouble. I am in another country and its hard to me to go to Germany. How can I get help? How can I call the police and talk about this situation. Can anybody help me?
