A dienstliche Unterkunft (work-related accommodation) is an apartment or room that your employer provides for you to live in for a longer period of time. You may receive this accommodation because your job requires you to live in a specific location. For example, soldiers, police officers, and other employees may live in this type of accommodation.
The accommodation is often close to your workplace. In most cases, you can only live there for as long as you work for that employer.
