Rent one's own apartement
ATTENTION: At the moment renting private apartments is only possible in hardship cases (The Sozialamt decides about it) or if you can pay the rent by yourself by working. Anyway you need the permission by the Sozialamt first before you subscribe any rental contract.
The City of Sprockhövel is responsible for the accommodation of asylum seekers.
It is possible to rent one's own apartment within Sprockhövel - even under your own name. Therefor a special bid form has to be filled out by the landlord/owner.
The rental offer will be examined by the Sozialamt (Mrs. Nachtigall) of the Stadt Sprockhövel (Social Welfare Office), which will deal with all formalities of the contracting. The refugee consulters of the City of Sprockhövel (Sarah Biet-Sayah and Michael Bergediek) will help in doing so. Also bigger apartments can be rented together by more people. Rent deposits or contributions for cooperative building associations can be pre-financed by the Social Welfare Office which gives a loan to you that you have to pay by installments.
