Hello,
some of you might still remember what my brother and I are currently building. It is a duplex with a total of 4 residential units.

We are currently considering having just one internet connection for all the units (which will be rented out fully furnished and inclusive) and sharing it among them. From a technical standpoint, separating the connections properly is no problem at all (I will set up an appropriate router/firewall myself), but I am unsure about the legal aspects and how this can be arranged.

I’m not overly worried about it, but the “devil is in the details.”

For my customers, I usually recommend “legally safe” guest Wi-Fi solutions like “Freifunk routers.” However, these limit the bandwidth too much.

That’s why I would prefer, if possible, another solution here. Fortunately, the available bandwidth is 500 Mbit/s (gigabit fiber from Vodafone).

If this is allowed, I would order the connection as a business line since I need a fixed IPv4 address anyway and then share it with the other units.

Main connection into the house; tenants arrange their own contracts.
Why would you want to take on all the responsibility and legal issues yourself?
That will only cause trouble.

Don’t do it alone. Safety concerns regarding home offices are becoming critical.
