What is transitional housing?

Question

Accepted Answer

Transitional housing is arranged by Ministry of Social Development (MSD) for a period usually shorter than 12 weeks.  You will have the same legal rights as other tenants if you are in a ‘boarding house’ for more than 28 days, or you are in an ordinary rented house for any period of time.
Because transitional housing is usually for less than 12 weeks, housing providers will probably offer you a ‘short fixed-term tenancy’, which is for less than 90 days. This means that some of the rules about rent increases and giving notice to end the tenancy don’t apply.
