📘 Guide: Help with Rent Debts & Eviction Actions
Specialist intervention by the district 'Social Housing Assistance Agencies' according to § 22 SGB II and § 36 SGB XII. The core task is to secure accommodation by assuming rent debts (as a loan or grant) and negotiating with landlords to withdraw eviction lawsuits in order to prevent loss of housing and consequential enforcement costs.
Important Note
Red Alert: In case of an eviction lawsuit, a 'grace period payment' within two months of service can cure the termination.
Required Documents
- Eviction notice (Note the date of service!)
- Proof of rent debts
Steps
- 1Make a 'grace period payment' (settlement of all debts) within two months of the lawsuit service to make the termination invalid.
- 2If the Jobcenter refuses to take over costs, file an objection immediately and check for an emergency application at the Social Court.
