State-owned housing, i.e. relating to the State Property Authority (AD), is allocated to Monegasque households according to their normal needs. Priority for allocation is based on a points system, set by Ministerial Decree.
Understanding the process
Applications for State-owned housing can only be made in the context of a call for applications.
Composition of the household (minimum) | Normal Needs |
Couple or single person in the absence of recurring revenue | Exclusion |

Failing this, the application will be submitted for the lower category.
In the absence of any details concerning the type of flat requested, the application will be examined based on the normal needs of the household as specified above. The request may not exceed the above-mentioned normal needs.
