Times are challenging, emotionally and financially. The coronavirus has already made life difficult for many, and the effects are still being felt and are threatening the existence of many. Now the effects of a military conflict come on top and these, among other things, place further financial burdens on everyone.
Reduced working hours, job loss, fewer or even no orders for self-employed people: In times of the coronavirus, there are many reasons why there is no longer enough money to pay the rent. When you fall behind with paying the rent, the consequence is imminent, namely, the threat of losing the apartment. The Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Long-Term Care and Consumer Protection has therefore launched the so-called ” Wohnschirm”, which provides free advice and financial support to those affected, provided that the rent debts arose after 1 March 2020.
As a real COVID-19 aid, the Wohnschirm has been designed to be comprehensive. At https:/
However, the assistance provided by the Wohnschirm is not only of an advisory nature, but of course also a substantial one, i.e. financial: By taking over rent debts including any court costs, eviction processes can be stopped and those affected can remain in their homes. What this means emotionally and for the future existence of those affected is clear.
