Tenants: Moving with WBS in Germany
As a tenant with children, moving with a Wohnberechtigungsschein (WBS) in Germany is often the best way to find affordable housing. This article explains how families can practically approach the WBS process, what rights tenants have, and which deadlines and forms are important. You will get clear steps to apply for WBS-supported social housing, tips on the rental agreement, information on required details and which authorities and courts can help in disputes. I name official laws, provide practical examples for termination letters, and show how to document defects so that you as a tenant are prepared and secure. The goal is that you meet deadlines, document damage, and, if necessary, involve a local court in time. I also show where to find official forms and how a family-friendly apartment search with WBS works in practice, such as which income limits apply and how to read listings correctly. This way you are well informed as a tenant in Germany.
