Landlords are being offered guaranteed rent if they take social housing tenants under a new pilot, yet few seem ready to sign up. Rules of the rental accommodation scheme have now been updated in an effort to win owners over. The revisions soften conditions that had put property owners off in an earlier draft. Participating landlords would receive a steady, guaranteed income, which is meant to outweigh the risks of letting to tenants on social supports. The property owner lobby still has concerns and wants more reassurance before recommending the scheme to its members. Without a decent number of signed up owners, the pilot cannot deliver the homes councils hope for. Whether the new terms change minds will decide if the idea ever moves past the pilot stage.
