Resident Handbook for Evolve Housing

Page 20

Rent review Twice a year, Evolve Housing is required to review your household circumstances, to understand if your rent needs to increase or decrease. To do this, we will send you a form in the mail and it is important you complete it and return it to us quickly. If you do not return the form in the required time period, Evolve Housing may assess your rent equivalent to full market rent. At any time if you cannot pay your rent, please contact your Housing Manager to discuss how we can help. While we try to help our residents manage their tenancies and stay in their homes as much as we can, please be aware that if you are frequently behind in your rent, we may have to terminate your tenancy contract.

What are Non-rent charges? There are some costs related to your tenancy that are not your rent. In general, this is your water use and any damage to the property. To pay these, please use your Payway NON-RENT card.

Water Usage Under the Residential Tenancies Act, residents are responsible to pay for the water they use in their property. We will post a copy to you and then you will have 28 days to pay it.

Property damage You are responsible to pay to repair any damage to the property that is caused by you, a household member, or a visitor.
