CONRADIE PARK APPLICATION
PLEASE NOTE: A police background check is required. Please do not engage with SAPS – our team will process all Name Clearance checks in-house.
You need to be registered on the City of Cape Town Housing Database before applying for housing at Conradie Park.

- at your nearest City housing office;
- at the MyEstate mobile office when it becomes available to your area;

ADMINISTRATION FEES
- An application fee of R350.00 is required before the application is processed.
- An administration fee of R200.00 is required on signature of the lease agreement.
- If a unit is not occupied within three months from the date of the initial application, a new application is to be submitted and the non-refundable application fee of R350 paid again.
