Can Jobcenter contact my landlord?

The Jobcenter has been asking me for my Betriebs- und Heizkostenabrechnung 2022 and 2023. I have been asking for them to my landlord for a few months now. And he to the Hausverwaltung. I got a deadline to present them by 6.12, and yesterday (3.12), the Jobcenter contacted my landlord to ask him for this papers. Is this ok? I don't have any interest in my landlord knowing that im receiving Burgergeld, and I am not sure why would they do that. Any advise?

Hallo @jpablodl , Thank you for contacting us with your concerns about the Jobcentre's actions. We do not know the Jobcentre's internal procedures. So I cannot tell you whether the Jobcentre has broken the law. I would advise you to write a formal letter of complaint to the Jobcentre, clearly setting out your concerns and the actions you believe were inappropriate. Or contact a lawyer. They can assess your situation, give you tailored advice and help you decide whether legal action is warranted. Best wishes, Barbara
