  • The Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) in Kuwait has ordered beneficiaries of government housing in East Taima to vacate their properties by September 1.
  • PAHW issued notifications to 509 plot owners via the Sahel app, informing them of the termination of their lease contracts.
  • This action is part of the implementation of a decree law that repealed a specific article related to housing welfare, effectively canceling existing contracts.

Beneficiaries of government housing in East Taima, Kuwait, have been officially notified by the Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) that they must vacate their homes by September 1. The PAHW has sent formal notices through the Sahel app to 509 owners of government-owned plots, informing them that their lease contracts have been terminated.

This directive stems from the implementation of Decree Law No. 83/2025. This law repealed Article 29-bis of the Housing Welfare Law, commonly referred to as the "those who sold their houses" law. The article in question was officially canceled in July 2025 and subsequently published in the official gazette, "Kuwait Al-youm."

The decision signifies a move by PAHW to reclaim or reallocate these housing units as per the new legal framework. The beneficiaries affected by this order are now required to comply with the September 1 deadline for vacating their properties.
