Since May 2012, he has been confronted with an investigative commission of the district council because of substantial allegations of nepotism . Two of his adult children received high income from the district's budget for renting two properties in the Lower Bavarian towns of Vilsbiburg and Wörth an der Isar to assigned asylum seekers. It's a five-digit monthly amount. The government of Lower Bavaria checked the contracts. Local newspapers reported that Eppeneder conducted the purchase negotiations for his children himself. Eppeneder denies that he gave them an information advantage, rather he was able to solve an "emergency situation" in the district, namely the obligation to accommodate a contingent of 180 asylum seekers.
