Application assistant · Rent subsidy (Mietzuschuss)

Prepare your housing benefit (Wohngeld) application – question by question

You answer simple questions. We then show you, for every question on the housing benefit application, what to enter or tick, create your personal list of supporting documents and estimate your housing benefit.

• Completed application

  The official application form, filled in with your details – for you to check, sign and submit.

• List of supporting documents

  Only the documents you really need – with explanations.

• Housing benefit estimate

  Based on the law, using your municipality’s rent level (Mietenstufe).

You submit the application yourself to your housing benefit office (Wohngeldbehörde) – this is free of charge. We help you fill it in completely and correctly. The office decides.

The completed form is in German because the authority only processes applications in German (Section 19 SGB X). The authority decides on your application. The application is free of charge.

Time needed: about 15 minutes. Have your tenancy agreement and payslips or pension statements ready. The assistant is not yet available for owner-occupiers (Lastenzuschuss) – please use the housing benefit calculator.
