The following rental costs are currently considered appropriate due to the housing supply, the rental price development and the rental price overview drawn up by the Ebersberg district:

In the case of homeowners or owners of apartments, housing costs (interest charges) are taken into account as appropriate up to the amount of the above rental costs. Appropriate heating and ancillary costs (without household electricity) are then taken into account.
The electricity costs are considered settled with the so-called control power and are not taken into account separately in the calculation.
If someone lives in an apartment for which the rental costs are above the above values and who is / will be dependent on benefits under SGB II or SGB XII not only temporarily (more than three months), it must be assumed that they will be asked to do so , immediately, ie as soon as he can give notice of termination of the apartment previously occupied, must endeavor to find an apartment with reasonable rental costs and reasonable ancillary costs.
Important
- Prior to concluding the rental agreement, the confirmation of the benefit provider concerning the expenses for the new accommodation must be obtained.
- The costs of obtaining accommodation can only be covered if there is confirmation from the benefit provider that the move is necessary or required.
- We would like to point out that, as a general rule, estate agent fees cannot be covered, since there is sufficient accommodation available on the open housing market that does not require an estate agent.
Assistance can be granted to persons in need to the following extent for the rental of living space with reasonable (gross cold) rental costs and additional costs and for a necessary move (the reasons for this will be examined accordingly by the benefit provider):
- Rental deposit in the amount of a maximum of 3 net monthly rental payments.
There is usually no monetary payment, but rather a declaration of surety in the amount of the permissible rent deposit.
- Necessary removal costs, to the extent that the removal cannot be performed by the beneficiary themselves.
It is usually assumed that the move will be handled by the beneficiary themselves.
Any person who moves to a flat with higher (gross) rental costs during receipt of SGB II or SGB XII for purely personal, objectively and legally unnecessary reasons has to assume that only reasonable rental costs will be taken into account from the time of the move. Such a case will not be eligible for either rental or relocation assistance.
If homelessness is imminent (flat is no longer inhabitable / eviction action is filed), then you should immediately contact the homeless authority responsible within your area (city or municipal administration) and strive together with the authority to find secure accommodation. Early contact with the Fachstelle zur Verhinderung von Obdachlosigkeit (FOL [Specialist Office for the Prevention of Homelessness]), Flossmannstr. 2, 85560 Ebersberg, Tel. 23210-25 is advised.
If a tenancy dispute / eviction action is imminent, you may be represented by a lawyer and, under certain prerequisites, you may receive assistance to cover the costs of the lawyer's help. More information on this can be obtained from the local court.
