  • Applications for multiple unit agreements are made by the Landlord, who following the signing of an agreement selects the Tenants, and refers the Tenants for income testing (for In Situ or single unit agreements, application is typically made by the Tenant, and on approval is followed by an agreement with the Landlord)
  • Landlords sign initial agreements for up to 5 years
  • For multi-unit Rent Supplement Agreements, supplements will be fixed for similar units based on unit size, rent and utility inclusion (for In Situ, the supplement level will be based on such factors as household/unit size, rent for unit, utility inclusion, household composition, income, and other non-discretionary expenses)
