Community Housing Policy

This policy sets out the Council’s practice in regard to the provision, management and tenancy of community housing within the Rangitīkei District.

Policy Objectives

  • To provide guidelines for the level of rental, with the intention of the facilities being self-funding and yet affordable for the tenants.
  • To provide clear guidelines on tenant eligibility for Council-owned community housing.
  • To ensure Council meets its statutory obligations with respect to tenancies under the Residential Tenancy Act 1986.
  • To confirm Council’s commitment to the provision of housing for those aged 65 or over with low or moderate financial means, who are able to live independently.
