With your München Modell Bescheid you can apply directly to the landlords of München Modell flats. The Office for Housing and Migration is no longer involved in the search for and allocation of München Modell flats after the decision has been issued.
You can find current housing offers, for example, via property advertisements in newspapers or the usual property portals on the Internet such as ImmobilienScout24 or ImmoWelt. Building cooperatives often present their projects in the project exchange of mitbauzentrale München, an independent advice centre for communal living.
München Modell Wohnungen are available for tenants (München Modell Miete) and for cooperative members (München Modell Genossenschaften). " Information on the programmes.
A co-operative is an association of people with the aim of promoting the social, economic or cultural interests of its members through joint economic activity. In order to rent a co-operative flat, you must be or become a member of the respective co-operative. Instead of a rental deposit, you then pay for the co-operative shares.
The München Modell Bescheid applies to both programmes. You only need to submit one application. You can then use the notification to apply directly to the landlord or co-operative. They allocate the flat on their own responsibility, i.e. without further involvement of the Office for Housing and Migration.
The decision is valid for one or two years, depending on your income. If you do not find suitable accommodation during this period, you can submit a new application. Please note our processing times and submit your repeat application in good time.
The initial rent (for newly built flats) is around 12 euros per square metre (net cold) per month. Rent increases are subject to municipal regulations that go beyond the statutory provisions of the German Civil Code (BGB). For example, the rent must remain at least 15 per cent below the local comparative rent for each adjustment.
