| | | Buy a City rental unit | | | | The City’s Public Housing Department is offering qualifying tenants the opportunity to become the owners of the rental dwellings they occupy. More than 9 000 Council-owned rental properties are on offer under the City’s rental sales programme. They include a selection of free-standing and semi-detached houses, terraced or row houses and maisonettes across the city, in areas such as Gugulethu, Valhalla Park, Mitchells Plain, Heideveld and Nyanga, among others. Financial assistance is also available to qualifying tenants, to help cover a portion or all the cost associated with the purchase price, rental and service arrears. After the properties are transferred to the new owner, they become a financial asset which can either be sold to earn a profit or added to the property owner’s estate so that it can be included in a will. If you have been living in a City rental property and want to check whether you and your property qualify, look out for the MyEstate mobile office in your area or visit your nearest housing office, with the following: - A payslip not older than three months
- An affidavit, if unemployed
- Proof of self-employment and six months’ certified income and expenditure statements
- A confirmation letter from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) if you receive a social grant
- Identity documents for you and your spouse if applicable
- A marriage/divorce/death certificate
