Urban Renewal — Kiryat Moshe (Rehovot)

Who is eligible?

Current residents of apartments in Kiryat Moshe, Rehovot (owners or protected tenants). This area is marked top-priority in 2024 with a dedicated urban-renewal administration with a cultural-bridge mandate.

What's included

• New apartment in place: same size as existing + extra area (10-25% depending on project)
• Temporary rent: during construction (~2-3 years)
• Reduced purchase tax: new apartment treated as first-home for tax
• Community preservation: guiding principle — residents return to the same neighborhood
• Infrastructure upgrades: roads, education, welfare — under separate budget

What to do now

1. Eligibility check: with the urban-renewal admin (Ministry of Construction)
2. Sign agreement: most building residents must sign (66%-80% depending on agreement type)
3. Legal agreement: independent attorney for residents (Tebeka can assist)
4. Local committee: approves the plan
5. Construction: 2-3 years, return to new apartment

Other priority neighborhoods: Ramat Eliyahu (Rishon LeZion), Dora=Ramat Yadin / Neot Shaked / Kiryat Nordau (Netanya).

⚠️ Before signing: consult an independent attorney. There are cases of unfair contracts.
