Income-orientated additional funding (EOZF)
Are you renting an EOF flat or a "social letting made easy" flat? Then you can reduce your rent. To do so, apply for a rent subsidy.
Description
The income-orientated additional subsidy (EOZF) is a rent subsidy for tenants of subsidised flats that were built as part of the income-orientated subsidy (EOF).
This additional subsidy reduces your rental costs. The City of Munich voluntarily pays a so-called occupancy subsidy for flats from the "Social Renting Made Easy" (SVLG) programme.
This is based on the EOZF, so the information on this page applies to both rent subsidies.
The amount of the rent subsidy depends on the total annual income of your household. There are three income levels in the EOZF. 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.
The same income levels I to III apply to the occupancy subsidy for flats from the "Social letting made easy" programme. However, as the price per square metre of SVLG flats is more expensive than that of EOF flats, there is an additional level IV for the occupancy subsidy. Only if your household income exceeds all four income levels will you no longer receive an occupancy allowance.
Below is an example (EOZF) 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 or the information sheet on the occupancy allowance.
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. This will help you avoid gaps in the EOZF rent subsidy. The same applies to the occupancy allowance.
Please note:
You can also apply for housing benefit.

If required, you can find a paper application form under Links & Downloads.
If you live in an EOF flat, this is usually stated in your tenancy agreement. Landlords will also know whether your (future) flat is an EOF flat or a flat from the "Soziales Vermieten leicht gemacht" (SVLG) programme.
If you are looking for a flat from the EOF programme or the SVLG programme in Munich, you must submit a flat application. You can then search for a flat via the SOWON internet platform. Further information.

You can also request an appointment by telephone on 089 233-49188.
After successfully arranging an appointment, you will receive a confirmation. Please bring this with you to the agreed appointment.
You will usually receive the EOZF or the occupancy allowance monthly in advance to your account. It can take up to 10 weeks for the first payment after receipt of a notification. This is because several municipal departments are involved. Unfortunately, we cannot speed up the payment.
The 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 application for EOZF or Belegrechtszuschuss before the notice expires. This will help you to avoid gaps in your rent subsidy.
The amount of the additional subsidy depends on the total income of your household. Your 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. In the case of EOF flats, however, this does not usually lead to a higher EOZF rent subsidy.
If the rent of an SVLG flat becomes more expensive, both your occupancy allowance and the remaining rent you have to pay will increase. We will only take the higher rent into account from the month in which you inform us of the rent increase. In your own interest, therefore, please inform us immediately if your rent is increased.
Please use the "Change of bank details" form. You can send us the completed form using the contact form.
