More Issues on RDP Houses:
- Applicants should bear in mind that they will only be able to get one housing subsidy ever & will never be granted another one
- RDP house cannot be sold or rented out - they are provided solely for the applicant's accommodation
- Any RDP owner wanting to extend or renovate their house before eight years of ownership will need to obtain permission from their local municipality
- Special treatment is given to disabled applicants - the design of the house may also be changed to accommodate the special needs of the person's disability
- A further subsidy can be applied for by the home owner, in the form of an indigent subsidy which subsidizes the cost of the services if the owner earns less than R1000 a month.
For this extra subsidy, we will apply for home owners at the indigent office & also need to go through this application process every year as the income status of the resident may change.
