Rent, Buy or Own
Have your circumstances changed?
If your circumstances change while you are waiting for a Housing New Zealand home, or when you are already living in one, you need to tell us right away. A change in your living arrangements or income could affect your place on the waiting list and your eligibility for income-related rent.
A change in circumstances means anything that alters the number of people living in your home, or the household income. For example, we need to know if a family member moves out, or if the money you receive from work, a benefit or board changes.
If you are on the waiting list and you find a home to move to, please let us know immediately so we can take you off the list.
You can look at the information we have about you at any time. If it's wrong, you can ask us to change it. If you have any concerns about this talk to your tenancy manager or call us anytime on 0800 801 601.
