Changing, renewing or ending a tenancy

This section briefly describes the circumstances in which Homes NSW may relocate a public housing tenant.

Relocating tenants

From time to time Homes NSW may require tenants to move from their home to another social housing property. The move could be because:

• the house is too big for the household
• the house has been modified for a person with a disability who no longer lives there
• the property is not owned by Homes NSW and the lease with the private landlord has expired
• Homes NSW intends to demolish the house and re-develop the site with more modern buildings, or
• Homes NSW intends to sell the house.

When this happens we will re-house the tenant in a dwelling that meets their needs.

For more information about relocations, please see the Changing a Tenancy policy.
