Same in the Netherlands, and I can personally corroborate that you don't need it in Belgium. Finland also didn't need it but for a temporary student apartment that might be different. Currently in Germany, yeah... we paid the Schufa tax twice over because we're two people renting together, and the GDPR data export thingy conveniently omits the credit score they've computed about you... Was considering whether one can make use of the 14-day return thing, but they've thought of that: it uses a sealed envelope that's hard to open without leaving evidence (under a guise of having a nice opener mechanism).
