New building with granny flat - general contractor restricts rental and KfW funding

Why should it? The aim is not to find a niche to declare ancillary rooms or separate bedrooms that belong to the main apartment as a granny flat in order to use our tax money.

That it does not apply here in this thread, clear.

A second residential unit is regularly used by a second party as living space.

In my multi-family house, 2 families each occupy 2 or even 3 residential units. We are currently planning to renovate them. For the KFW funding, it is completely irrelevant that there are only 2 rental agreements, because there are 5 residential units.

What is the difference in a single-family house if everything (kitchen, bathroom, access) that KFW requires for a second residential unit is met and confirmed? Fortunately, the use of my residential units as an owner is still almost always my business.

You don’t need to give a bad example to justify subsidies in principle. It is not my place to approve or evaluate subsidies. But if a builder wants to “sell” their children’s rooms because of the KfW subsidy, then I am happy to give my rarely conservative opinion that this is neither fair nor good for our social fabric. You may sugarcoat it – but your kids will suffer the consequences, when, at some point, if they need something (maybe a pension?), they will get absolutely nothing because YOU are draining the state! I have yet to meet anyone from your generation who thinks about the future. And by now, I’m also fed up with kindly not lumping everyone together here (forgive me, those who do think ahead). I collect trash here and there, save here and there, all because of the (environmental) world… now there’s also CO2… okay, everything that is not directly associated with subsidies, simply so as not to burden the budgets and funds of the municipalities. But I expect those many educated people here to add up the basics! But that doesn’t happen: everyone takes their elbow-driven defiant freedom, “if you get something, then I take it. Others do it too.” I’m so angry about this! It doesn’t even affect me: it affects you and your children. Soon the social fabric will burst, but you still want to take quickly… I am generally willing to discuss, but not here. You are deceiving yourselves and sugarcoating something! We are back to the point that education turns adolescents into a generation that runs alongside reality!

Wow, I guess I'm operating on a completely different meta level: For me, it's simple: If I meet the requirements, I have a claim. If I don't meet them, I have no claim. If I want to cheat, then I'm just a cheater. Whether it's [Corona Kindergeld], [KFW Förderung], [Baukindergeld], [Herdprämie], [Abwrackprämie], [Ehegattensplitting], [Bafög]: The state offers programs with a set of rules, and if I fit in, I am allowed to take advantage of them. For me, this has nothing to do with elbows.

I am writing! Doing it Meanwhile, I’m buying products with microplastics again, traveling to Mallorca for 2 evenings, I don’t care about single-use stuff and so on (the offer is there -> I buy it, I take it) In the sense of:

The state provides offers with a set of rules and if I fit in, I’m allowed to take advantage of them.

... to stay on topic: TE builds with a beautified granny flat to keep construction costs low ... and not to create permanent living space. So why funding? For me, this is now out of the question because of elbow tactics, which affect the entire society.

I agreed with you there.

That it does not apply here in the thread, of course.

My point was that said that whoever receives funding for their housing unit but does not rent it out is committing an offense – a simplification. I just don't see it that way. My property, my use of the dwelling as I wish. If I build an apartment building with 10 units and live in 4 of them myself, I also get funding 10 times. The living space is there.
