The Assembly of the Representatives of the People will hold, this Wednesday 11 February 2026, a plenary session starting at 10:00 a.m. The sitting will focus on two draft laws concerning the legal framework of the Société nationale immobilière du pays tunisien (SNIT) and the Société de promotion des logements sociaux, with a shared objective: enabling the sale of social housing financed by the Housing Promotion Fund for the benefit of salaried employees, either through instalment payments or rent-to-own contracts.
A plenary session scheduled for 10:00 a.m.
The plenary sitting on Wednesday 11 February 2026 will begin at 10:00 a.m. Two texts are on the agenda: Draft Law No. 89/2025 and Draft Law No. 90/2025.
Draft law no. 89/2025: SNIT and its subsidiaries concerned
The first draft law aims to complete the legal framework of the Société nationale immobilière du pays tunisien (SNIT), approved under Law No. 19 of 1957 dated 10 September 1957.
The text provides that SNIT and its subsidiaries may sell social housing units financed from the resources of the Housing Promotion Fund for the benefit of salaried employees, under two options:
Instalment payments;
Or through rent-to-own contracts.
Draft law no. 90/2025: a single article for the social housing promotion company
The second draft law concerns the completion of Law No. 53 of 1977 dated 3 August 1977, relating to the establishment of the Social Housing Promotion Company.
It provides for the addition of a single article setting out the possibility to sell social housing units financed from the resources of the Housing Promotion Fund for the benefit of salaried employees, either:
Through instalment payments;
Or via rent-to-own arrangements.
A shared direction: facilitating employees’ access to social housing
Through these two draft laws, the Assembly of the Representatives of the People is examining the same approach: enabling the transfer of social housing financed by the Housing Promotion Fund to salaried employees, by expanding purchase options between instalment sales and rent-to-own schemes, in line with the arrangements set out in each text.
