Benefits for living expenses - Citizen's income

Rent and heating

The citizen's allowance includes the assumption of costs for rent and heating. In order for your accommodation costs to be taken into account in full for the duration of the benefit receipt, these costs must be reasonable.

The appropriateness of the accommodation will only be checked after 12 months (waiting period). Until then, the actual costs of the apartment or home will be covered.

Heating costs are only granted to a reasonable extent in order to encourage economical use of energy.
