Confirmation of housing costs (Bestätigung des Wohnungsaufwandes)

Here your landlord confirms how much your flat costs per month. It is an optional attachment to the housing allowance application. Answer a few questions and we show only the fields that apply to you.

Who fills this in? You do not fill in this form yourself; your landlord or property management does. You hand it to them and then attach it to your application.

Do you live in a municipal flat (Gemeindewohnung) run by Wiener Wohnen?
Are you behind with your rent?
