Information on right-of-occupancy housing

Right-of-occupancy housing is a cross between owner-occupied and rental housing. In the case of a right-of-occupancy dwelling, you pay the so-called right-of-occupancy fee. You will also pay a residence charge, similar to rent.

A right-of-occupancy dwelling is suitable for people of all ages and for different life situations. You can apply for a right-of-occupancy dwelling:

  • when you are of age;
  • when you do not have the funds to purchase an owner-occupied dwelling meeting your needs in the same area. However, your assets will not be taken into account if you are over 55 years old or when you are changing from one right-of-occupancy dwelling to another.
  • if you have a right-of-occupancy queue number.

Get acquainted with the companies or associations owning right-of-occupancy dwellings and submit an application directly on the companies’ websites.
