REQUIREMENTS TO APPLY:
- South African Identification (Green book or ID card)
- Aged 18 – 64
- Permanently employed
- Registered on City of Cape Town’s Housing Database
- Gross household monthly income must be less than R22,000
- Good credit profile
Before you apply, please note:
- Third party applications will not be considered. The person applying for the unit must be the person that lives in the unit as the legal tenant.
- Subletting is not allowed. Subletting is when the person whose name is on the lease (the legal tenant) does not live in the unit and a friend/family member/third party lives in the unit instead.
- R350 application fee is required. Proof of payment must be submitted with the supporting documents for your application. Paying the R350 does not guarantee that the application will be successful or that the applicant will be allocated a social housing unit to rent.
- There is very limited availability of 3-bedroom units. Within the affordability range, families will be given preference. Applications for 3-beds will close as soon as available units have been allocated.
