Each year, housing associations should let 92.5% of their uninhabited social housing to individuals with an earnings of as much as EUR 47,699 (one-person household) or EUR 52,671 (multi-person family) and no greater than 7.5% to people with higher incomes than EUR 47,699 and EUR 52,671 respectively (2024 ).
