The quantity of the Hungarian flats is short, and the quality is bad, there are many non-comfortable flats, and the upkeeps are run high.
The low prices of the flats are a big imperfection. The expend to the maintenance is to be dependent of the residents’ income. From the last century the number of the transmitted flats is increased, and big changes happened in the quality.

The bigger parts of the transmitted flats are family houses, the subsidized flats’ number is lower than the European average and lower than the peoples’ needs. The crescent house substance goes hand in hand with the crescent of the loans outstanding. The Hungarian housing advocacies are to serve of the prescription, and their judgment is variable.

Two supporting models have been worked out by the guesses’. The difference is the costs. The models consist an entire cost-estimate, and minimal tax allowance. It is need to ensure the terms to attendance the Austrian companies in Hungary, and work-out the acts and lows.

The Hungarian housing relation are adverse, the content of the houses are inefficient. The subsidized flats’ number is low, and the supporting system is serve the society’s particular flake’s interest. The housing supporting system has been changed in 2002 in a very good way, because of the unpayment of the system.
