Unterföhring tempts you with 2,500 euros for an apartment exchange: This is how it works!
The municipality of Unterföhring has launched a new home exchange program that is intended to offer financial incentives for residents who move into smaller residential units. This program is particularly aimed at seniors and young families who want to adapt their housing needs. The aim is to promote social and needs-based use of housing and to increase the quality of life of residents.
Anyone who moves from a larger four-room apartment to a two-room apartment in the municipality can receive a bonus of 2,500 euros. However, this bonus only applies if both apartments are owned by the municipality and the new apartment is at least ten square meters smaller than the old one. This not only offers residents financial benefits, but also the opportunity to significantly reduce their rental costs. For example, someone who rents an 80 square meter apartment at a price of 10 euros per square meter could only pay 400 euros in rent for a 40 square meter apartment.
A common goal
The exchange program was developed by a working group made up of local council members and the administration, with the involvement of the senior citizens' advisory board. The swap allows young families to exchange larger apartments in the center for smaller, barrier-free apartments, while seniors are rewarded for moving into senior-friendly apartments. This not only leads to a better distribution of living space, but also ensures that the needs of different age groups are taken into account.
The advantage for young families is that they can move to a greener environment, while seniors move into barrier-free apartments that meet their special needs. The community hopes that these measures will result in more efficient use of living space and better distribution within the community, which is also important for social cohesion in the community.
Overall, the municipality of Unterföhring sees this home exchange program as an innovative change in the housing market that should benefit both target groups. Experts emphasize that such a reward system can make the exchange more attractive and thus lead to a win-win situation for everyone involved.
