WBVG

Abbreviation for Wohn- und Betreuungsvertragsgesetz

In short and in plain language

The WBVG is the German law on contracts for housing and care.

It covers contracts where you get a home together with nursing or support. Examples are assisted living and care homes.

Among other things, the law names facts that people should get before they sign. So it can also affect what is on a website.

Definition

Among other things, it names information for prospective residents before signing and can therefore also affect the content of a website.
