This paper analyses the sale of the social housing stock in Slovenia, promulgated by the Housing Act in 1991. It is shown that the large differences (between municipalities) in the percentage of sold social housing are due primarily to economic factors. While providing some short-term gains to the sellers (the state, municipalities and firms), the sale of the social housing stock has accentuated regional disparities and will seriously limit the options for housing tenure reform in the future.
