Dira LeHaskir/Renten publishes long-term rental projects, including homes offered at ordinary project rent and designated discounted-rent homes for eligible applicants. These rental routes are separate from the Dira BeHanacha purchase lottery. Check the exact current project, operator and advertised registration route.
Rental-program note: rental lotteries are project-specific and should not be collapsed into the Dira BeHanacha purchase-lottery process. Check Dira LeHaskir/Renten project pages, eligibility-certificate requirements, and each project’s current lottery status before promising availability or income criteria.
The first and most critical step is to determine your eligibility. Discounted-rent homes require a valid eligibility certificate under the applicable Ministry of Construction and Housing and Israel Land Authority rules. Renten lists households without home ownership, couples and single applicants aged 35 or older among the groups that may qualify; check the full eligibility conditions for your circumstances. The government wants to help those who are priced out of the ownership market. You can find the detailed eligibility requirements on the official websites of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and the “Dira LeHaskir” company.
Find a participating project through Renten, then register through that project developer’s dedicated lottery website. Each project has its own registration process. You will need to obtain a certificate of eligibility (teudat zakaut) through one of the designated registration companies. Once you have this certificate, you can sign up for lotteries for specific projects that interest you. Upload the required certificate and details to the project’s registration site. The developer’s listed telephone number is the contact for registration assistance. When a new rental project opens for registration, eligible individuals can sign up for the lottery for that specific building. Renten’s discounted-rent guidance sets the initial rent at 20% below its designated appraised market rent. Rent is updated with the index each rental year and against a new appraisal when an option is exercised. Check the project’s initial rental period, options and exit conditions. Check Renten’s project and lottery listings for current registration dates.
