Information about Tasmanian Government’s Private Rental Incentives pilot scheme is now online.
Part of our Tasmania’s Affordable Housing Action Plan 2015-2019, the scheme is designed to encourage residential property owners to make their affordable rental homes available for low income earners.
This housing assistance plan will provide individuals, couples, and families in our community who are finding it tough to secure affordable rental properties, with access to secure private rental accommodation (12 month leases) at an affordable rent.
For each approved property, owners will receive a financial payment of $10,000 to $13,000 per property per year and will also be guaranteed that rent is paid for the term of the lease.
The Government is working with Community Housing Providers, Housing Connect and the private rental sector to progress the next stages of the pilot scheme.
