The answer

We do not know the conditions set by the state for the handover of its houses to employees, and Muslims are bound by their conditions. If the state permits the employee to allow whomever they wish to reside in the house, then it is permissible. However, if it stipulates that only specific individuals may reside in it (such as children, parents, and spouse), then these conditions must be adhered to, and you must vacate the house if you are not among those permitted to reside in it.
