Government proposes verifying tenant incomes every three years to encourage municipal housing reforms.
Government Proposal for Income Verification
The government wants to encourage municipalities to check tenants’ incomes more frequently. This has led to a proposal to verify the majority of tenants at least once every three years. Representatives of large cities support this solution.
Concerns About Income Thresholds
More doubts arise from introducing high statutory income thresholds when applying to rent municipal apartments. While this would increase their availability, it may also lead to longer waiting lists.
Phasing Out Municipal Apartment Sales
Cities are gradually phasing out the sale of municipal apartments.
