Applications will be submitted to the Instituto Municipal de la Vivienda de Málaga, using the standardized declaration of responsibility form provided for this call, through the electronic registry or the procedure enabled on the municipal electronic office.

Lagoom Living homes are intended solely and exclusively for rental. There is no possibility of purchase or rent-to-own. These are affordable homes under a rental regime.

No, neither the applicant nor any member of the family unit may hold ownership of another home, protected or free-market, nor hold a real right of lifelong use or enjoyment over it, either at the time of submitting the application or on the date of signing the award document.

Yes, the applicant must have been registered for at least one year in the municipality of Málaga in the period immediately prior to the date of submitting the application. It is not necessary for all members of the cohabitation unit to meet this requirement; it is enough for the applicant to meet it.

At the time of submitting the application, you must have already submitted an application as a protected housing applicant in the Municipal Registry of Protected Housing Applicants of the municipality of Málaga, keeping that application active at least until the lease contract is formalized, in accordance with the actual situation of the family or cohabitation unit and its income.

You can check the data collected on the registration form in the award bases. Remember that the only way to submit the application is through the Instituto Municipal de la Vivienda de Málaga, using the standardized declaration of responsibility form provided for this call, through the electronic registry or the procedure enabled on the municipal electronic office.

You must prove minimum income per family or cohabitation unit (last completed fiscal year) of: €21,000 annually for 1-bedroom homes (including the dependency home), and €23,300 annually for 2-bedroom homes (including adapted homes).

The maximum income per family or cohabitation unit is equivalent to 2.5 times the IPREM, with corrective coefficients applied, resulting in the following limits: €24,418.60 annually for units of 1 member, and €32,307.69 annually for units of 2 members or 3 or more members.

The family income considered is that defined in the protected housing legislation, taking as reference the general and savings taxable bases of the IRPF (personal income tax) (in the 2024 return, boxes 435 and 460), for the last tax period whose filing deadline has expired, of the members of the family unit.

Annual income is calculated by adding together the general and savings taxable bases of each member of the cohabitation unit with income.

For this purpose, the amounts of the general and savings taxable bases are considered, as regulated in articles 48 and 49 respectively of Law 35/2006, of November 28, on Personal Income Tax, corresponding to the return or returns filed by each of the members of the family unit for whom the home is intended, relating to the last tax period whose filing deadline has expired, at the time the application is submitted.

Annual net income is obtained from the last three payslips, certificates of state-recognized benefits, and income from economic activities, where applicable.

You must include the income of all members of your cohabitation unit who receive any type of income.

The rent will be determined in accordance with the regulations on publicly protected housing and calculated based on the usable surface area of the home and its annexes, applying the maximum prices legally established per square meter:

Maximum rental price €/usable m² of home = €5.54.

Maximum rental price €/usable m² of annexes = €3.75.

In addition, the chargeable expenses and services set out in the lease contract will be added to the rent.

The chargeable expenses will be those arising from the community services of the development (among others, and on a purely indicative basis, those corresponding to gardening, cleaning, maintenance, the pool, and supplies for the common areas), which may be charged monthly to tenants together with the rental fee for the home and its annexes.

Yes, as a tenant you must contract and manage the individual utilities for your home (electricity and water). However, the lease contract will include the information necessary to facilitate this process.

Yes, as a solvency requirement, the total annual rent to be paid (home rental, linked annexes and estimated chargeable expenses) cannot exceed 30% of the annual net income of the cohabitation unit (effort rate).

The effort rate is an indicator that measures what percentage of a cohabitation unit's annual net income is spent on paying for the home, its linked annexes and chargeable expenses.

1. The following are taken as reference:
   • The last three payslips.
   • Certificates of recognized state benefits.
   • Income from economic activities (if applicable).
2. With this information, the annual net income of the cohabitation unit is obtained.
3. This is then compared with the annual rent that must be paid for:
   • The rental of the home.
   • The linked annexes.
   • The estimated chargeable expenses.

For the calculation of this rate, the amount of income and liabilities resulting from the documentation required and provided by the applicant will be taken into account.

1-bedroom homes are for units of up to 2 members (including the dependency home) and 2-bedroom homes are for units of up to 4 members (including adapted homes).

The family unit shall be understood as the one defined in the protected housing legislation (Annex I, Decree 91/2020, Plan Vive Andalucía 2020-2030).

A cohabitation unit is understood to be the group of people who habitually and permanently live in and enjoy a home, with a vocation for stability, regardless of the relationship between them.

For the purposes of this Decree, a family unit is understood to be:

1. The one defined in the regulations governing Personal Income Tax.
2. Persons who are not part of any other family unit, whether a single applicant or several people who intend to live together.
3. De facto couples legally recognized under the applicable regulations.

No, it is not optional. All homes will come with a garage space and a storage room as annexes, inseparably linked to the home for the duration of the rental contract.
