What are Affordable Rentals?
ŌCHT’s Affordable Rentals are for qualifying people who can’t afford market rent.
Our rents are 79% the average market rent. We're offering Affordable Rentals at housing complexes throughout Christchurch, as properties become available.
Most of our Affordable Rentals are one-bedroom units in housing complexes of five-to-50 terraced units. They'll suit people who enjoy community living.
Who might qualify?
We’re offering Affordable Rental tenancies to low income-earning households who can’t afford market rent.
Here are some of the guidelines we’ll use:
You’re a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.
Rental housing affordability in the open rental market is an issue for you.
You don’t own any other properties anywhere in the world.
