Description
Have you ever come across these phrases while perusing apartment listings: “ Nur mit WBS” or “Wohnberechtigungsschein erforderlich”? The mysterious Wohnberechtigungsschein [permit for subsidized housing] or WBS is a document you can apply for at the Bürgeramt. If your income does not exceed a certain amount, you might be eligible for one of the 100,000 affordable, subsidized apartments in Berlin. These apartments are funded by the city and therefore cheaper.
