Procurement of social housing

Low-income households have the opportunity to apply for a publicly subsidised flat.

Procurement of a social housing flat in Rodgau

In order to be registered in Rodgau, you must complete the application for social housing in Rodgau and submit the documents we require (see below).

If you do not have the technical requirements, you can collect the application form from our town hall or we can send it to you by post.

Please note that the allocation of housing is decided exclusively by the Specialist Service 7, Department of Infrastructural Building Management (IGW) and the Nassauische Heimstätte housing association. The specialist service, the Social Services Department, only has the right to make suggestions. As soon as we receive a notification of vacancy for a flat, we propose three applicants from our list of applicants. Specialist Service 7 (IGW) or the Nassauische Heimstätte housing association decide who can move into the flat from these three proposals. The proposal is based on the social urgency of the applicants, so long waiting times cannot be ruled out.

The city of Rodgau can therefore only fulfil your justified request for suitable accommodation to a limited extent. There is no legal entitlement to obtain a flat.

The appropriate flat size depends on the number of people in your household.

• 1-person household: up to 50 m² or up to 1 living space
• 2-person household: up to 60 m² or up to 2 living rooms
• 3-person household: up to 75 m² or up to 3 living rooms
• for each additional person as required, a maximum of 12 m² or 1 additional living space.

The kitchen and the ancillary rooms belonging to the flats (e.g. cellar) are not included.

If additional space or additional living space is required or will be required in the future (e.g. due to pregnancy or a walking disability), this must be justified and proven. In exceptional cases, such a need may be recognised.

Documents required for the application (in copy):

• Identity card, residence permit if applicable
• Proof of income for the last 12 months for all persons listed in the application (e.g. payslips, current pension statement, current notification SGB II/ SGB XII)
• Proof of rent payments for the last 3 months (e.g. bank statements)
• Proof of assets, if applicable
• Proof of maintenance payments, if applicable
• Letter of cancellation/ eviction judgement, if applicable
• Severely disabled person's pass/assessment notice, if applicable
• Proof of need for care, if applicable
• Power of attorney/carer's pass, if applicable
