Looking for Affordable Housing?
Have a read through the information below to see if our units are right for you.
Our Tenants
If you answer YES to the questions below and you would like to apply for a unit, please call into our Office. You may print or fill in our pre-tenancy application form online but your application will not be processed until we meet you in person.
Are you:
A New Zealand citizen, or permanent resident of New Zealand over 55 years old?
Do you:
Receive NZ Superannuation?
or
Receive a benefit for a permanent disability?
Are your:
Assets insufficient to secure appropriate housing in the private market while maintaining financial stability and wellbeing?
(See below)
MCT’s asset threshold is designed to support people with modest savings while ensuring our housing is available to those who need it most.
As a general guide, we prioritise applications from people with total combined assets of less than $80,000. This may include cash, KiwiSaver, investments, property, or other high-value assets.
We recognise that everyone’s situation is different. MCT may consider applications where assets are above this guideline where those assets do not provide a realistic ability to secure or sustain suitable housing in the private market.
Our Conditions
You will have to provide references from two previous landlords, and must be able to live independently and manage activities of daily living, such as:
living safely on your own
paying rent and meeting the expenses of keeping a unit i.e. electricity, telephone, lawn and garden care costs etc.
cooking, cleaning, personal care, and managing regular rubbish disposal
carrying out the requirements of the tenancy agreement
controlling visitors to the premises
Our Next Steps
To Apply:
You must visit our Office at 1/100 Awahuri Road, Feilding, and fill out a Pre-tenancy Application Form.
What Should I Know About the Application Process?
If there isn’t a suitable unit available, you may be placed on a waiting list.
Our process includes reference and other checks. We reserve the right to decline applications.
Our units may be allocated on a needs-basis, not on a first in, first served basis.
What if I Don’t Meet the Criteria?
If you don’t meet our criteria, our team will let you know.
We may be able to give you information about an agency that could help you.
