Over the past 20 years, there have been a number of considerable aspects in the housing policy of Latvia that affect the development of housing policy in general. In 1995, the Law on Privatisation or State and Local Government Residential Houses'' was adopted. According to the Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia data, exactly 20 753 multi-storey apartment houses owned by the state or local government or 53% of the total number of multi-storey residential houses in Latvia were placed under the privatisation process. It should be highlighted that only 20% of the apartment house owners have taken over the house in their possession, while 95% of the apartments are privatised (Database of the Central Statistical Bureau, 2012). The aim of the presented study is a systematic evaluation of the information on dwelling houses’ policy development trends in Latvia from 1995 and regeneration of the national industry in the period after the crisis. The novelty of the study is the assessment of a three-level model for housing management and maintenance in Latvia, which considers the location of houses in the respective area, and full privatisation process of a house consistent with the provisions laid in the Law ''On Privatisation of State and local Government Residential Houses''. Results of the research are going to become the basis for sustainable development of Latvia dwelling houses policy.
