Key legal question
Whether the refusal to renew the residence permit violated the claimed family-life right under Art. 8 ECHR and Art. 13 BV based on an unmarried partnership.
Extracted holding
The partnership was not shown to be a sufficiently stable, marriage-like union at the relevant time, so no residence entitlement arose.
Extracted reasoning
Three years of cohabitation, without children and with financial support by the partner only recently appearing in the record, did not establish a long-standing, substantively marriage-like relationship.
