Your Rent
Your rent is based on your income.
This helps keep your housing affordable.
We look at:
• your income (Centrelink or wages)
• your Rent Assistance (CRA)
• your property
Your rent is usually:
• about 25% to 30% of your income
• plus your Rent Assistance
Your income details
You need to tell us about your income.
We will ask:
• before you move in
• once a year when we do our annual rent review
If you do not provide this, your rent may go up.
Rent Reviews
We review your rent every 12 months.
We will check your income to make sure your rent is correct.
If your income has increased, your rent may go up.
If your income has gone down, your rent may go down.
Please tell us as soon as your income changes.
If you do not tell us, changes to your rent may be backdated.
