Income and asset thresholds

Tenants who are having their tenancy reviewed must meet the income and asset requirements for social housing.

These are the same income and asset requirements they had to meet when they applied for social housing.

The income and assets of all applicable persons are included in the assessment.

If a tenant doesn't meet the income and asset requirements but still has a persistent housing need that is serious or severe, they may still qualify for social housing.

A tenant doesn't qualify for social housing if they:

• no longer meet the income and asset requirements and
• don't have a persistent housing need that is serious or severe
