In order to find a suitable apartment on the general (private) housing market, it is advisable to use several search options in parallel, such as newspaper advertisements, internet platforms, or notices on bulletin boards, etc.

If you are on a low income, you can also register for publicly subsidized housing (social housing). However, availability is limited, which means that there are usually long waiting times and apartments are allocated according to urgency.

Under certain conditions, you may be eligible for a rent subsidy or housing allowance for your rented apartment or owner-occupied property.

Please note: If you already receive government benefits such as citizen's income or social assistance, you are not entitled to housing allowance, as accommodation costs are already included.

If there are defects in your apartment that the landlord does not repair, the municipal housing authority can assist you.

If you cannot reach an agreement privately, the family court will decide who stays in the shared home and who moves out.
Under certain circumstances, you can apply for sole use of the marital home. 

If you experience physical violence or humiliation in your relationship, you can contact a women's shelter in Wiesbaden for accommodation, protection, and support.

If you are at risk of losing your home or are already homeless, the City of Wiesbaden's accommodation management service offers assistance.

In Wiesbaden, you will also find (temporary) special accommodation options for single parents or pregnant women. To find accommodation in one of these facilities, please contact your local social services office.
