• What is an occupancy permit?

An occupancy permit is a legal document that certifies a building is safe and fit for habitation or use. It is typically issued by the Rwanda Housing Authority (RHA) after a final inspection confirms that the building complies with all applicable building codes, zoning laws, and safety regulations. This permit is required before a building can be legally occupied or used for its intended purpose.
