BERLIN, Feb 2 (Reuters Life!) -- The local housing authority in the eastern town of Loebau (Germany) said on Friday the new regulations stipulate the tenants -- who all live on welfare -- now only qualify for smaller homes.

Because there is a shortage of smaller dwellings, the tenants are being allowed to stay, so long as the space they use does not exceed the new limit.

Inspectors make regular patrols to ensure the rooms standing empty are not being used.
