Supreme Court allows appeal regarding housing rent conditions as a prerequisite for continued residence permit renewal.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the appeal against the lower court's decision to deny a continued residence permit. The applicant argued that the housing rent conditions imposed by the municipality were disproportionate and violated their right to housing, while the opposing party contended that the local authority had the discretion to set these conditions based on municipal needs. The court ruled that the housing conditions must be reasonable and proportionate, and the lower court erred in applying the conditions without sufficient justification, thereby overturning the denial.
