The Malta Housing Authority seeks to guarantee stability for families through the Housing sector through various schemes and opportunities. The Authority carries out extensive research to ensure that the housing market is accessible and affordable for all individuals and families. These opportunities are targeted towards Prospective Property Buyers and Tenants.

Individuals whose financial means do not permit them to access the housing market in the private sector may request to be accommodated in a property allocated by the Housing Authority.  This assistance is given to individuals with an income less than €10,000 (singles) / €12,000 + 700 / child (couples / single parents) and assets worth less than €28,000.

The Housing Authority provides legal and financial support to tenants living in properties leased before 1st June 1995 that are subject to rent revision proceedings before the Rent Regulation Board. Through the financial assistance offered by the Authority, tenants can pay the revised rents set by the Board.

Lease agreements signed after 1^st June 1995 must be registered with the Housing Authority as stipulated in Cap 604 of the Code of Laws.  The online registration process ensures transparency and provides stability to both owners and tenants.  Some disputes may be resolved summarily through an arbitration panel held within the Housing Authority.

The Housing Authority has various schemes and opportunities to assist owners and tenants to repair or adapt their dwellings to make them habitable and suitable for their needs. These schemes are beneficial to Elderly Persons and Persons with a disability and are key to sustain Independent living in the community.
