You receive housing benefit if you do not have sufficient income to pay for your housing. The housing benefit for tenants is called a rent subsidy, the housing benefit for owners of owner-occupied housing is called an encumbrance subsidy.
Amount:
Depends on the individual case.
It is based on household size, income and rent or charges.
Duration:
Generally for 12 months.
In individual cases, this period may be longer or shorter.
If you want to continue receiving housing benefit after this period, you must apply for it again.
The housing benefit authority.
Depending on where you live, the housing benefit authority is the municipal administration or the district office.
Please note: The district administration office may be responsible for residents of individual large district towns. However, the administrations of municipalities that are not responsible for housing benefit will accept your application and forward it to the relevant authority.
Recipients of the following transfer benefits do not receive housing benefit:
Exceptions:
The best way to apply for housing benefit is in writing. Use the paper form above. You can also obtain it from the relevant office.
You will need to use different paper forms depending on whether you have rented accommodation (rent subsidy) or whether you own it (encumbrance allowance).
If you would like to submit an initial application for rent subsidy, you can also use the online application available above.
You can also apply for housing benefit informally. Special features apply here.
Your (informal) application is then deemed to have been submitted at this time. Submit the completed form together with all the necessary documents within the deadline notified to you. If your application is approved, you will receive housing benefit from the first day of the month in which the informal application is submitted.
You will receive the decision on your application in writing in the form of a notification.
If the decision is favourable, the responsible office will transfer the payments once a month in advance to the account you have specified.

The housing benefit authorities are currently receiving many applications. It may therefore take a little longer to process your application. Please be patient.
If your financial situation or living circumstances have improved or changed, this may also lead to a reduction in housing benefit. You are obliged to inform the housing benefit authority immediately of any changes that could lead to a reduction in housing benefit.
In order to avoid or uncover unlawful claims for housing benefit, the housing benefit authority may regularly check the household members by means of a so-called data comparison.
If you are in receipt of housing benefit and receive child benefit, you may also be entitled to child supplement. You can check whether you are entitled to child supplement with the KiZ-Lotsen of the family benefits office and submit the application directly online. You can find the link in the more detailed information.
