The Administrative Court of Uusimaa overturned the Housing Allowance Board's decision to deny A's housing allowance. The board had rejected the claim because A was studying in a foreign institution eligible for student housing supplements, citing the law's restriction on single-person households. The court ruled that A's temporary absence due to mandatory military service did not constitute studying in the foreign institution during the relevant autumn semester, thereby invalidating the board's reasoning.

Kiinteistölautakunnan asuntoasiain jaosto oli hylännyt A:n

asumistukihakemuksen sillä perusteella, että asumistukea

ei asumistukilain 2 §:n 1 kohdan mukaan myönnetä yhden henkilön

ruokakunnalle, jos asianomainen henkilö opiskelee

sellaisessa opintotukilaissa (28/72) tarkoitetussa oppilaitoksessa,

jossa opiskelevalle voidaan myöntää opintorahan

asumislisää.

A oli suorittamassa varusmiespalvelustaan 9.2.-12.10.1989

ja oli tämän vuoksi poissaolevana kirjoilla syyslukukauden

loppuun saakka 1989 opintotukilaissa tarkoitetussa oppilaitoksessa,

jossa opiskelevalle voidaan myöntää opintorahan

asumislisä. Koska A ei näin ollen ollut opiskellut sanotussa

oppilaitoksessa syyslukukaudella 1989, lautakunta ei

ollut päätöksessään mainitsemallaan perusteella voinut hylätä

A:n hakemusta.
