This will result from an algorithm from the known objective values. Pressure zones are defined as areas where the average rental price exceeds 35% of household income in the area. Average rental prices have increased by 5% more than inflation in the last five years.

As part of the Home Department, the Tenant’s Ombudsman, which will be responsible for registering and investigating complaints of the above terms of rent, is established, in cooperation with the services of the Ministry of Finance. In the event of a violation of the above conditions, a fine will be imposed which will be equal to the twenty -power of the illegally received part of the rent.
* The home address will be under the control and supervision, all programs on housing houses and refugees currently under the auspices of the DBA (Estia Etc. Program)
* The home address will assist local authorities in the design, finding of funding and developing social housing plans by themselves.
Responsibilities of the Ministry of Finance on the recommendation of the Residential Directorate:
– The Ministry of Education will be able to set the maximum rent based on the EAM per square meter and taking into account the status of the property, in rents in the pressure zones, upon recommendation of the Home Department.
