The Ministry of the Interior wants to relieve accommodation providers of refugees. They will receive an inflation adjustment retroactively from the beginning of November. How high this will be is yet to be negotiated.
The adjustment of the cost of living for private landlords will be decided by the National Council in December. The background is the concern that many private accommodation providers will no longer be able to pay for the reception of refugees in the future. This, in turn, would exacerbate the basic services situation, as the federal states do not provide adequate housing.
The livelihood adjustment will be issued in phases. Anyone who has housed an entire family should get more than someone who only lives with one person. Payment is scheduled monthly and initially limited. The federal government bears the costs.
Ukrainians mostly housed privately
At the moment, mainly Ukrainian refugees are received privately. In Vienna, for example, only 11 percent of Ukrainians live in organized neighborhoods. How high the subsidy for private landlords will be is still subject to negotiation. The adjustment to housing costs will be granted retroactively from the beginning of November.
