New policy allows one-room flat owners to apply for other housing after surrendering flats

A new policy has been published permiting Male’ residents who own one-room flats awarded under government housing schemes to apply for flats under other housing schemes, subject to surrender of their existing flat.

According to the updated regulation, owners of one-room flats who have a child or multiple children below 18 can apply for flats under other housing schemes, provided they surrender their existing flats in line with government policies.

Meanwhile, owners of two-room flats awarded under government housing schemes who have two children of two genders can apply for flats under other housing schemes, provided they surrender their existing flats in line with government policies.

One of the main concerns raised during President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s recent meetings with Male’ residents was the difficulty of living in one-room flats and the need to allow applications for other housing schemes.

In response, President Muizzu said that owners of one-room flats are eligible to apply for housing under the ‘Emmenah Boahiyaa Vehikan’ scheme launched on November 16^th.
