The Vestre Landsret upheld the municipality's decision to refuse housing support under Section 15(2) of the Housing Support Act. The owner sold their property to their children but continued residing there as a tenant, creating a situation where the support criteria were deemed not met. The court ruled that the municipality was correct to deny assistance because the owner's actions effectively circumvented the statutory requirements for receiving support.
