‘A Kuwaiti Citizen will get rent allowance'
Details of a lawsuit filed by Attorney Abdul Mohsen Al-Qattan indicated that the plaintiff was allocated a new plot in Al-Mutlaa on May 4, 2023. However, as construction had not yet been completed and electricity was not connected (conditions required for halting the rent allowance ), he remained entitled to receive the allowance.
The administrative authority's decision to stop the payments and demand repayment for that period was deemed erroneous. The court ruled that the ministry must return the deducted amount and resume payment, as the plaintiff submitted a new housing application and had not yet benefited from the allocated plot. The judgment further stated that rent allowances must be reinstated for all individuals whose payments were previously suspended due to substitution or waiver of alternative housing, starting from the month following the implementation of the relevant regulation.
