Questions and instructions

Literal question
<svar v="DE87A044"><span class="em">Question 8: Is the dwelling subsidized with budget funds for publicly assisted housing?</span><br />Only dwellings which have been completed after the currency reform (June 20, 1848) and for which public funds (of the Federation, the state or the municipality) were granted for the construction of low-cost dwellings (the so-called primary assistance) are considered as subsidized with budget funds for publicly assisted housing.<br /><br />These include loans to cover the construction costs (as a rule, public building loans, also known as state building loans) and loans or grants to meet current expenditure (assistance in the form of annuities, grants or loans for specific expenditures, the subsidizing of interest charges).<br /><br />For publicly subsidized dwellings new tenants have to submit a housing certificate from the respective municipality or "<span class="lang">Kreis</span>" administration (e.g. housing office, welfare office).<br /><br />If the assistance funds for apartment buildings were paid back ahead of time, most of these dwellings are still considered publicly subsidized for up to 8 years. As far as owner-occupied houses and condominiums are concerned, the public control ends upon repayment or redemption of the assistance funds; in the case of dwellings converted into condominiums, the public control ends only if the owners themselves are using the condominium as persons eligible according to the regulations of publicly assisted housing. On the termination of public control, owners receive a letter of confirmation from the respective agency.<br /><br />Not considered public funds in the above sense are: loans for expenditures according to the regional program of the Federation (the so-called secondary assistance), reconstruction loans according to the Law on the Equalization of Burdens, housing assistance payments for persons employed in public service of the Federation, the states or the communities, means to further the modernization of housing or for measures designed to save heating energy, article 7b depreciation allowances and other tax benefits, premiums on building loan contracts.<br /><br />Main tenants who do not know whether their dwelling was subsidized with budget funds for publicly assisted housing need not answer this question.<br /></svar></p>
