Bescheid

German to English Other Other
Welcher Mietpreis ist angemessen? Diese Frage wird in den nächsten Monaten viele Empfänger von Arbeitslosengeld II beschäftigen. Der Deutsche Mieterbund rechnet damit, dass eine große Zahl von ihnen mit einem negativen Bescheid rechnen muss - rund 100.000 müssten sich eine neue Wohnung suchen
TIA!

decision

...would fit here quite well. Thing is, it's an official letter telling them that things have changed in a negative sense in their case and they won't get any support for their (too expensive) flat anymore.

I would probably not stick too closely to the text here (or is it for legal purposes, in which case I might!) and say that the Mieterbund "considers that a large number of them must come to terms with the fact they will receive a negative response; approximately 100,000 will have to find new accommodation."

I assume that the "response" comes as a result of having filled in a form or such like for housing benefits?

Since we're starting with a question, "answer" seems to fit well here. They're thinking about this question, and they will have to expect a negative answer.

would be the proper legal term if its done by a governmental agency as I think it is in this case. It's more like an expert opinion, which can be challenged in court, which then hands down a 'decision'
