I can't pay my rent

Rent arrears, termination without notice, eviction lawsuit, eviction date: what is still possible at each stage – and who can save your home.

How the roadmap works. Answer the questions. Your roadmap is built from your answers. It shows what matters this week, who can cover rent arrears and which court deadlines are running. The sooner you act, the more options stay open.

Your roadmap

The roadmap needs JavaScript. Without JavaScript you can find all content on the target group pages, for example Arbeitslose und Arbeitnehmer.

As of October 2026. The roadmap arranges general information according to your answers. It does not review an individual case, does not replace legal advice and does not assess your dismissal or any deadline as valid, met or missed. Whether an entitlement exists is decided by the responsible office; deadlines and amounts change often – check important details with an advice centre.

Ask your question

On a decision, deadline, application or responsibility. You get an answer with the matching page, the responsible office and the next step, usually within two working days. No legal advice in individual cases, no sharing of your data.
