Course description

It is just possible to move into a subsidised flat under particular conditions. Therefore, an application for registration need to be sent to the Office for Housing and Migration.

As part of the processing of your application, the specific space requirement (principle: 1 room per person, a separate living-room is not offered) and the urgency of the housing search will be determined. The urgency is on the basis of a points table. Depending on the level of earnings, registration stands for an optimum of 2 years from the date of the choice.

During this period, you can search for flats on SOWON and apply. The five applicants with the greatest urgency will then get a composed offer of accommodation (election) with the contact information of the landlords to see the accommodation. The proprietors then choose who gets the flat.

You can submit your application online on SOWON or utilizing the paper kind. You can find more details on online applications in the flyer "Online housing application" and in the explanatory video "Online housing application".

After registration (alert), you will be revealed all readily available subsidised flats on SOWON that match your home. You can apply for as much as three flats at the same time. You can discover an overview of the housing search via SOWON in the leaflet "Housing Search Online".

Munich Model flats are not used on SOWON, but are designated straight by the property owners. You can discover existing housing offers on residential or commercial property websites such as ImmobilienScout24.

Depending on the size of your home, it might take numerous months and even a number of years before a flat can be positioned. We recommend that you continue to look for flats on the open rental market.
