For municipal housing applicants
The number of municipal housing spaces in Tallinn is limited and there are a lot more applicants than available housing. Housing is allocated for rent to only those who need it. Here you can see what the conditions are for applying for municipal and social housing and how the process for applying and obtaining housing works.
- Municipal housing - Municipal housing is for a person or family who is unable to provide a living space for themselves. Read more about the conditions presented to the applicant for municipal housing.
- Social housing - Social housing is for people and families who are unable to ensure their own housing and need help with everyday life (social services and benefits).
Modification, termination of leases
You can find application forms for changing or terminating a lease agreement with the city from the Estonian webpage.
