Students Take Note: Special Offer for Municipal Housing in Vienna

The city of Vienna is launching a special allocation of municipal housing for students. From May to the end of September, access will be possible without the otherwise required "urgent housing need," as the city hall announced. As part of the action, a total of up to 1,000 municipal apartments with a size of around 35 to 45 square meters will be made available. They include one to two rooms.

Apartment Search via Website of Vienna Housing Consultation

The apartment search is conducted online via the website of the Vienna Housing Consultation. To obtain a municipal apartment, the individuals concerned must have had a primary residence in Vienna for at least two years. Starting May 1, a relief applicable to everyone will come into effect: the regulation will then be independent of the number of addresses. Currently, one is only allowed to have been registered at a single apartment.

Vienna Housing Councillor on Special Action for Students

"Students in particular are confronted with temporary rental contracts and high financial burdens in the private housing market. With this tailored special allocation action, we want to make affordable and secure housing in municipal buildings more accessible to students," explained Housing Councillor Kathrin Gaal (SPÖ) the measure. This will create stability for young people and at the same time relieve the private rental market.
