Nikru biex Nassistu

The Nikru biex Nassistu Scheme provides an opportunity for landlords and property owners to lease their vacant residential properties to the Housing Authority to be used for social housing purposes. 

Properties are leased for 10 years and must be in a good finished state, fit for habitation and furnished with a kitchen, including appliances. The Housing Authority subleases these properties for social accommodation, with landlords receiving tax-free rent payments every six months in advance. Additionally, the Authority is fully responsible for ensuring that sublessees comply with rent conditions imposed by the Authority.  

After the 10-year lease, the landlord receives the property in the same condition it was handed over, accounting for wear and tear. 

Special rates on rent apply for applicants leasing blocks of apartments, and preference is given to properties equipped with a lift.
