Get subsidies for self-renovation

According to the Housing Authority, the “Vacant Flat Refurbishment Subsidy” scheme was launched in 1998 to provide tenants with the option of carrying out simple repair works themselves or choosing to have the HD’s renovation contractors carry out the work.

The “Vacant Unit Renovation Grant” is applicable to all vacant units that are less than 21 years old. To reflect the higher cost of simple maintenance works required for older units, units between 16 and 20 years old can receive a subsidy equal to 5 The renovation subsidy amount is one month’s rent; for units between 11 and 15 years old, the renovation subsidy amount is four months’ rent; for units that are 10 years old or below, the renovation subsidy amount is three months’ rent. .

If prospective tenants choose to renovate vacant units by themselves, in addition to receiving an ex-gratia subsidy, they can also move in two months earlier to reduce the vacancy rate of public housing. To ensure that the scheme is not abused, the Housing Department will not carry out minor repair works for tenants within one year after they choose to receive the renovation subsidy.
