Income-orientated additional funding (EOZF)
Are you renting a flat from the income-orientated subsidy (EOF)? Then you can reduce your rent. To do so, apply for an EOZF rent subsidy.
Description
The income-oriented additional subsidy is a rent subsidy for tenants of subsidised flats that were built as part of the income-oriented subsidy (EOF). This additional subsidy allows you to reduce your rental costs.
The amount of the additional subsidy depends on the total annual income of your household. There are three income levels. Households in level I receive the full additional subsidy. In levels II and III, the subsidy is reduced. If your total income exceeds all levels, no additional subsidy is possible.

Below is an example with a rent of 10 euros per square metre (sqm) (net/cold):
- Income level I
- With a rent subsidy of 4 euros per square metre, the remaining rent is 6 euros per square metre
- Income level II
- With a rent subsidy of 3 euros per square metre, the remaining rent is 7 euros per square metre
- Income level III
- With a rent subsidy of 2 euros per square metre, the remaining rent is 8 euros per square metre
For further information, please refer to the EOZF information sheet.
The EOZF decision is valid for two years. It is important that you submit a new EOZF application in good time before the notice expires. How to avoid gaps in the EOZF rent subsidy

As a rule, you will receive the additional funding monthly in advance to your account. It can take three to four weeks for the first payment after receiving an EOZF notification. This is because several municipal departments are involved. Unfortunately, we cannot speed up the payment.
The EOZF decision is valid for two years. It is valid from the first day of the month in which you submitted your application (authorisation period). If you pay rent or move into the flat at a later date, you will receive the additional subsidy for two years from the date you start paying rent or move into the flat.
Please submit your new EOZF application before the decision expires. This will help you to avoid gaps in your EOZF rent subsidy.
The amount of the additional subsidy depends on the total income of your household. Your EOZF decision is valid for two years (see above). During the two years, the additional subsidy does not normally change. If your tenancy ends, the additional subsidy will be cancelled.
Landlords are allowed to increase the rent. However, this does not lead to a higher additional subsidy.
