Tenant associations are associations of apartment tenants in Germany. They represent tenant interests in a locality like setting rent level. They provide information on tenancy law questions and perform consumer protection tasks.

The association provides members free advice and cheaper out-of-court representation. Members often have a discount rental dispute insurance option.

Many tenants associations join regional associations and the umbrella organization German Tenants' Association (DMB). Over 300 local tenants associations are organized in the DMB. The largest tenants' associations include Berlin (190,000 members), Munich (63,000 members), and Hamburg (74,000 members).

State and federal associations represent the interest of tenants in the legislative process as a lobby group, for example Universal basic income in Germany. Local tenants' associations can bring tenant interests to urban development issues. They are opposed by landlords' associations joined in the Haus & Grund Deutschland.

There are also associations mostly in larger cities that offer legal advice to tenants but have not joined regional associations or participate in politics.
