Recognition of Social Housing Tenants
Aim of the Service
The Recognition of Social Housing Tenants initiative allows eligible family members of deceased tenants who previously lived in government-owned dwellings to apply to become tenants of the property.
Family members must have lived with the deceased tenant for at least 5 years prior to their death and must satisfy the means-testing criteria set by the Housing Authority. In the case of married couples or individuals in a civil union who are not legally separated, both parties must submit the application together.
