Moving, buying, transferring

After becoming a public housing tenant your circumstances may change, which means your housing needs may also change. If this happens there are a number of options available to assist you in finding more appropriate housing.

Moving

If you are moving out of your public housing home you need to be aware of your obligations. If you need to move out urgently there are accommodation options available.

Transferring

If your household situation changes and your home isn't suitable any more, you can apply to be transferred to another home.

Swapping

The mutual swapping service allows public housing tenants to swap properties with one another. The service may help you to move home without having to wait for a property through the normal application process.

Buying

The tenant house sales program gives public housing tenants the opportunity to purchase the property that they rent.
