Rental apartments for people with disabilities; application for funding for adaptation

For structural measures in existing properties to adapt rented accommodation to the needs of people with disabilities (e.g. installation of a disabled bathroom or stair lift, construction of a ramp for wheelchair users), owners of rented accommodation can receive a performance-free building loan of up to EUR 10,000.

• Only households whose income does not exceed the income limits specified in Art. 11 BayWoFG can benefit from the subsidy.

• Proof of disability in accordance with § 2 Para. 1 SGB IX must be provided.

• The building project may not be started before the funding has been approved.

There is no legal entitlement to funding.

The procedure is a two-stage process:

1. The application must be submitted to the approval office using the forms and documents provided for this purpose. In the case of a two-family house, the application must be submitted to your district office or district-free city and in the case of a multi-family house to the responsible government (exception: if the rental apartment is located in Augsburg, Munich or Nuremberg, the city is the approval body). Approval is granted by the approval office.
2. The Bayerische Landesbodenkreditanstalt approves the loan and delivers the approval notice.

Application for disbursement must be made to the approval office.

Occupancy commitment 5 years

After completion of the measure, the receipts must be submitted after 6 months at the latest.

• Proof of ownership of the property (e.g. copy of the land register)
• Proof of financing - Sketch plan (for changes to the layout of the apartment)
• Proof of disability (e.g. severely disabled person's pass, medical certificate)
• Copy of the official identity card

A one-off administrative fee of 1% is charged for the non-performing loan, which is retained upon disbursement.
