Renting in Kornwestheim comes with a higher price tag

In the heart of Germany, the town of Kornwestheim is taking active steps to address its affordable housing market. The aim is simple: to bring empty apartments back onto the market.

As part of this initiative, Kornwestheim offers funds for re-rental, advice leading to re-rental, and moving from a larger to a smaller apartment through the Competence Center for Living Support Package. This centre, a common municipal or regional initiative, provides assistance and counseling on housing issues, helping tenants, and supporting social housing projects.

While the exact premium for re-renting an apartment in Kornwestheim isn't clearly defined, regulations are in place to prevent excessive rent increases. The premium, if applicable, can reach up to 2,000 euros per rented apartment, but it is capped at two net cold rents. It's important to note that the city does not fund these amounts from its own budget; the state provides the necessary funds.

The city's neighbouring city, Stuttgart, is relying on Caritas for providing living space for single parents and other groups struggling on the housing market. Caritas, a Catholic charity organization, is a common partner in such social housing and support programs. However, the role of Caritas in Kornwestheim's housing initiatives isn't explicitly detailed in the available information.

While the specifics of Kornwestheim's housing market strategy, including details on the premium for re-renting apartments or the involvement of the Competence Center for Living Support Package and Caritas, aren't fully covered in the given sources, consulting Kornwestheim’s municipal housing office or their official publications would provide more detailed local policies or official statements.

Kornwestheim's municipal housing strategy involves investing funds for re-rental and providing counseling services through the Competence Center for Living Support Package, aiming to revitalize the housing market. To finance these efforts, the city partners with the state instead of its own budget. In contrast, Stuttgart collaborates with Caritas for social housing projects, although the role of Caritas in Kornwestheim's housing initiatives remains unclear.
