CAIRO, July 9 (MENA) – Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli said that the government is preparing housing alternatives for tenants affected by the new Rent Law, with solutions that suit different income levels.

During a meeting at the cabinet headquarters in the New Administrative Capital, Madbouli instructed officials to begin a housing program for eligible tenants, with units to be prepared before the seven-year transition period ends.

For his part, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, Sherif el Sherbiny, presented the ministry’s plan to implement the rent law, including conditions for priority housing applications.

He added that the Social Housing Fund will launch an online platform within a month to receive applications from tenants over three months.

The minister noted that the goal is to assess housing needs and compile a list of applicants and the required housing units. Applications can be submitted online or on paper.

Sherbiny confirmed that applications will be reviewed carefully, with digital and field checks to determine eligibility. He presented available land and proposed housing units for the program. (MENA)
