Hi, all my friends. I'd like to and I really need your help and advice. Millions thanks!
I'm a trainee with a meager salary living in a temporary studio in Stuttgart.
And I've recently received a letter from Deutsche Post talking about the payment of "Rundfunkbeitrag". As I don't know German, I translated it using google by typing the whole letter (2 pages of very small letters). It seems to talk about radio broadcast, obligation to pay, a deadline of 1 month to reply.........something like that.
But, I really doubt that I should pay the fee because:
1) The address is only my temporary shelter paid on daily basis including all the charges and shared with my landlord like staying in a hostel. My living space can also be accessed by the landlord. Therefore, I think the contribution has already been paid by the landlord. (But she is always on trip and I'm still having no chance to ask her about it.)
2) I will move to another location due to my job in Aug/ Sept and the new address is still unknown.
I'd like to ask any of you knows how "Rundfunkbeitrag" goes and if I can pay the fee after I have my permanent "real" address.
Thank you vey much for any advice and reply. Thank you!
