On this site, you can find information on right-of-occupancy housing, applying for a queue number and on searching for a dwelling.
You will need a queue number to apply for a right-of-occupancy dwelling. You will get it from the Centre for State-Subsidised Housing Construction Varke. Once you have received your queue number, you can submit housing applications. The applicant who has the lowest queue number will receive the right-of-occupancy dwelling.
Older tenant selection queue numbers given out by municipalities were only valid until 31 December 2023.
Once you have a queue number, you can apply for a right-of-occupancy dwelling. Submit a housing application directly on the right-of-occupancy company's or association's website.
Right-of-occupancy housing is a cross between owner-occupied and rental housing that combines the best attributes of both forms. In the case of a right-of-occupancy dwelling, you pay the so-called right-of-occupancy fee, which is up to 15% of the dwelling’s original value. You will also pay a residence charge, similar to rent.
You can live in a right-of-occupancy dwelling for as long as you like. When you eventually move out of the dwelling, you will be refunded the right-of-occupancy fee you paid, adjusted by the building cost index.
