Apply for rental housing relief

If you are renting a residential unit from the City, you can also apply for additional financial support if you are struggling to pay your rent and qualify for rental housing relief.

How to apply for rental housing relief

You need to be renting a rental unit from the City, and you and your spouse/partner together have to earn R7 500 or less a month to qualify for support with your rent.

With your application, you will need to submit all the necessary documentation, such as:

  • certified copy of your, and your spouse’s, ID(s)
  • proof of income OR a sworn affidavit stating that you earn R7 500 or less a month
  • any additional forms required from your consultation

Please consult your nearest housing office to ensure you understand exactly what forms and documentation you will need to complete the application before you apply.
