• Or collect it from Housing Department

You must enclose a full copy of your latest tax statement with all requests.

You may be asked for additional supporting documents when your application is examined.

You should send your application to your Head of Department of the authority or regulatory authority, who will send this to the Housing Department through the official channels.

You will receive confirmation of receipt in all cases.

If the response from the regulatory authority is favourable, and providing that accommodation corresponding to your request is available (normal needs, amount of rent), you will be sent a letter showing the location and the appointment for the site visit.

If the response of the regulatory authority is negative, you will be informed as soon as possible.

During the visit, which is carried out with representatives of the Housing Department and State Property Authority, you will be given a standard letter (in triplicate) so that you can indicate, within six days, your acceptance or refusal of the allocated apartment.

If you accept:

• Keep a copy of the standard letter for future administrative procedures (various contracts, etc.)
• Send the second copy to the Housing Department
• Return the third copy to the State Property Authority, who will contact you regarding routine formalities (inventory and signing the lease) 

If you refuse:

The letter to the Housing Department must be returned within six days. After this period the accommodation is considered vacant and is offered to a new tenant.
