The Legislative Assembly (AL) yesterday passed a government-initiated bill on social rental housing, according to which an individual applicant for a social housing unit must be aged at least 23, while the representative of a household applying for a social housing unit must be at least 18 years old – the same as the current minimum age requirement.
According to the new law, all applicants – individual applicants for a unit and the representatives of respective households applying for a flat – must be permanent residents who have been living in Macau for at least seven years.
Currently, both individual applicants and the representatives of respective household applicants must be aged at least 18.
