Department of housing transfer application nsw

Mission Australia Housing recognises that the need of our tenants and their household members may change over time and we will work with tenants where possible to accommodate those changes. These changes may require tenants to transfer to a different property, that is better suited to their needs. Tenants may apply for a transfer to another property where changes in their circumstances, or that of their household, make their existing property or location no longer suitable.

To be eligible for a transfer, a tenant must:

When applying for a transfer, you must complete a Transfer Application Form and provide evidence as to why you require a transfer. Applications for transfer will not be accepted unless all supporting documentation and evidence are provided.

If you have been approved for a transfer you will go on to the transfer waiting list which is managed in the same way as the general waiting list. If your transfer application is not approved you will be provided with information as to why your application was declined.

Mission Australia Housing will conduct up to two rent reviews per year.

We do this to ensure that all tenants are paying the correct amount of rent, as per their income details and to update any changes to the household income. You will receive a letter from Mission Australia Housing prior to your rent review letting you know what information we will need about your income and the date we need it by.

If you do not provide your income details by the due date you may have your rental rebate cancelled and you will be required to pay market rent.
