Housing ACT tenants do not pay more than 30% of their income on rent and debt repayments, as this is regarded as the threshold after which tenants are in housing stress. Housing ACT encourages tenants to pay at least $15 per week to repay arrears. This means that for larger debts, tenants can enter into repayment agreements stretching over several years, whilst for smaller debts, the repayment agreements can only be for a shorter time.
(8) See answer to Question (3).
(9) Not all tenants have a twelve month agreement. See answer to questions (3) and (7). Any tenant who does not comply with a CTPO would be at risk, however Housing ACT cannot speculate on whether tenants who are currently on a CTPO are likely to breach the order. Where a tenant on a CTPO has breached the repayment requirements (including the period of repayment imposed by the ACAT) Housing ACT may refer the matter back to the ACAT for a new CTPO.
