QUESTION NO. 27

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief executive does the tenant in situ also apply to those in receipt on rent supplement?

REPLY:

The Tenant in Situ Scheme allows Local Authorities to buy properties where tenants are facing eviction when the landlord is selling the property. The Scheme applies to tenants with a valid Notice of Termination, deemed at risk of experiencing homelessness and who qualify for social housing support, including those in receipt of Rent Supplement, Housing Assistance Payment (HAP), or in a RAS or long-term leased property.
