Public Housing Law (Purchase Rights) (Amendment – Extension of Validity) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הדיור הציבורי (זכויות רכישה) (תיקון - הארכת תוקף)

TL;DRA proposal to extend the validity of the public housing law by ten more years, to allow public housing tenants to purchase their apartments.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends Section 20 of the Public Housing (Purchase Rights) Law of 1998, so that the law's period of validity will be extended from ten years to twenty years. The law allows tenants in public housing who have lived there for at least five years, and who, along with their relatives, do not own an apartment or other real estate worth more than a certain amount, to purchase their apartments at a subsidized price. The extension of validity is intended to allow additional tenants to benefit from the purchase rights under the law's conditions.
