About Deutscher Mieterbund e.V. (DMB)

The task of the German Tenants Association is to ensure the uniform exercise, promotion and representation of the interests of tenants in the broadest sense at the federal level. For this purpose contact (orally, by telephonic means, in writing) is made to organs, members, factions or groups of the German Bundestag and the Federal Government as well as to representatives of the ministries. In addition, parliamentary evenings, discussion and information events are held, to which the aforementioned circles are invited. The association also contributes through memberships in other organizations to transport its positions and promote the representation of interests.

Aufgabe des Deutschen Mieterbundes e.V. ist die einheitliche Wahrnehmung, Förderung und Vertretung der Interessen von Mieterinnen und Mietern im weitesten Sinne auf Bundesebene.

Zudem werden parlamentarische Abende, Diskussions- und Informationsve­ranstaltungen durchgeführt, zu denen auch die vorgenannten Kreise eingeladen werden. Der Verband bringt sich ferner durch Mitgliedschaften in anderen Organisationen ein, um seine Positionen zu transportieren und die Interessenvertretung zu fördern.

Many German charities use platforms like betterplace.org, GoFundMe, or their own Spendenseite (donation page). International donors can give via SEPA transfer (Germany is in the eurozone) or PayPal. For your donation to be tax-deductible, you need a Zuwendungsbestaetigung (donation receipt) from the organisation - for amounts up to 300 euros, a bank statement showing the transfer is sufficient.

Fragwürdiges Unternehmen - nicht zu empfehlen!!!

Zuerst ist zu erwähnen, dass bis vor kurzem noch sehr viele negative Bewertungen zu sehen waren.Diese wurden anscheinende alle gelöscht!!!!Der Deutsche Mieterbund ist ein sehr fragwürdiges Unternehmen.Wir sind Vermieter und haben zum Glück nur einen Mieter, mit dem wir seit über 5 Jahren Ärger haben. Er geht mit jeder Kleinigkeit zum Deutschen Mieterbund, der wiederum immer per Anwalt mit uns kommuniziert. Sei es ein Kratzer am Auto, der angeblich von uns verursacht wurde, oder die Nebenkostenabrechnung. Diese hat der Mieter seit 5 Jahren nicht beglichen, da angeblich entweder die Müllgebühren, die Hausmeisterkosten oder die Quadratmeterzahlen nicht stimmen, obwohl dies alles dokumentiert werden konnte. Telefonisch ist der Mieterbund in Aschaffenburg nicht erreichbar bzw. wenn man jemanden in der Leitung hat, bekommt man die Aussage, dass sie nur mit unserem Anwalt kommunizieren.Das heißt, man kann auch kleine Angelegenheiten nur per Anwalt regeln kann, was erhebliche Kosten mit sich trägt.Aktuell ist es so, dass nicht einmal E-Mails ankommen – telefonisch – keine Erreichbarkeit!!!!Es ist bekannt, dass beim Deutschen Mieterbund nur Anwälte arbeiten, die sonst im öffentlichen Leben keine Chance haben. Der Deutsche Mieterbund sucht haarsträubende Argument, um ihre Klienten dazu zu bewegen, dass sie ihre Rechnungen nicht begleichen müssen. An den Kritiken im Internet können wir entnehmen, dass wir hierbei mit unserer Meinung nicht die Einzigen sind.Dem entsprechend werden wir nun so weit gehen, dass wir künftig nicht mehr an Mieter vermieten, die im Verein des Deutschen Mieterbundes Mitglied sind.

Nicht zu empfehlen !!!

Mir ist die Mitgliedschaft im Mieterbund wegen eines Schimmelproblems in meiner Wohnung empfohlen worden.Der Nachweis des Schimmelbefalls wurde durch einen Mitarbeiter des Landkreises bestätigt und von mir an den Mieterbund weitergeleitet.10 Wochen lang hat der Mieterbund nichts unternommen.Von der Mitarbeiterin erhielt ich keine Auskünfte sondern wurde an den Rechtsanwalt verwiesen, der aber nie telefonisch erreichbar war.Bei einem anderen Problem wurde ich falsch beraten wodurch Fristen versäumt wurden.Pünktlich kommen nur Rechnungen !!!

Überhaupt nicht zu empfehlen

Leider eine rundum enttäuschende Erfahrung.Nach mehrfachen Nachfragen und insgesamt sechs Wochen Wartezeit kam endlich eine Rückmeldung – allerdings ohne jede Kulanz oder echtes Eingehen auf den Einzelfall. Stattdessen wird sich strikt hinter Paragraphen und der eigenen Satzung versteckt.Besonders enttäuschend: Trotz eines Todesfalls in der Familie wird der volle Jahresbeitrag einbehalten. Für mich absolut unverständlich und menschlich sehr fragwürdig.Auch der Kontakt war alles andere als angenehm. Die zuständige Mitarbeiterin trat unfreundlich auf und zeigte keinerlei Verständnis für die Situation.Insgesamt entsteht der Eindruck, dass hier weder Kundenorientierung noch Empathie eine Rolle spielen. So geht man mit langjährigen Mitgliedern nicht um.Definitiv nicht zu empfehlen.

Generische Antwort erhalten

Generische Antwort erhalten. Bei Nachfrage wurden meine Fragen weiterhin nicht konkret beantwortet. Ich habe mich beschwert und mein Geld zurück gefordert. Man hat es nicht mal für nötig gehalten, auf meine Nachricht zu antworten
