Social rental apartments; advertisements by landlords

The landlord of a subsidized (social) rental apartment may only let it to those people seeking accommodation who have been expressly nominated by the competent authority (district offices, independent cities, large district towns or "large delegation municipalities") or who have received a certificate of eligibility for housing. Further information on the housing entitlement certificate and designation can be found under "Related topics" - "Housing entitlement certificate; application".

The landlord of the subsidized (social) rented accommodation must inform the competent authority of the name of the person seeking accommodation within two weeks of making the accommodation available to the person seeking accommodation and, if applicable, present the certificate of eligibility for housing provided by the person seeking accommodation.

If it is foreseeable that a subsidized (social) rental apartment will become vacant or ready for occupancy, the landlord must notify the competent authority immediately and inform it of the expected date of readiness for occupancy or vacancy.

The competent authority must also be notified of the sale of residential property and the establishment of residential property.
 

Please use the online procedure "Fulfillment of notification and reporting obligations for social housing".
