The Seimas has made amendments that propose to change the calculation of the price of municipal housing sold preferentially. The methodology was established by Seimas in February of last year.
It is proposed to allow the sale of municipal housing at a price no higher than before July 1998, when the apartment privatization process took place.
Members of the Social Affairs and Labor Commission, which are providing such an amendment to the Housing Acquisition or Leasing Support Law, say that the new procedure for selling municipal housing established a year ago is unfavorable to people because they cannot pay the market price.
“People for 8-9 thousand. Privatized houses, other people in the same house or in the same conditions have to pay 80-90 thousand euros.” Said Rimantė Šalaševičiūtė, the head of the committee, who presented the amendments.
Mykolas Majauskas, a member of the Budget and Finance Committee, said the proposal “smacks of Soviet order”: “We want to sell state assets ten times cheaper than market value.”
The amendments propose a return to the previous methodology, which was in force until September 2019.
Tenants with permits or court decisions to privatize or vacate rental housing due to a state of emergency and, in other cases, may purchase housing on a preferential basis.
Darius Kvedaravičius, director of the administration of the municipality of Trakai, told the Seimas Commission for Social Affairs and Labor that the people who once lived in the Užutrakis mansion have lost the opportunity to privatize their homes.
The committee has information on cases in which people in rented premises have been unable to privatize due to lengthy courts.
