Housing & Construction Authority: Housing benefits and rental matters

How does a debt from the final settlement affect the payment of housing benefits?

If you are still receiving housing benefits, the overpaid benefits will be deducted from the upcoming benefits if the debt is under 100,000 ISK.
No more than 25% of the benefits are deducted each month. You can also request an invoice and pay the entire debt immediately.
