The residential tenancy support payment is available to eligible landlords who agree to reduce the rent of COVID-19 impacted tenants from 14 July 2021.
The amount per tenancy agreement has been increased from the original $1,500 and is now capped at $4,500.
Note: You can currently only apply for amounts up to $3000. You'll be able to apply for amounts between $3,000 and $4,500 from 24 September 2021.
Residential landlords can apply for either the residential tenancy support payment or the COVID-19 land tax relief. They cannot apply for both.
