|
| Definition: | Dwellings owned by private individuals or private corporations that are leased to an entity which provides housing via head-leasing arrangements. The gaining entity housing provider is usually responsible for tenant selection and tenancy management functions. |
| Context: | Head-leasing involves at least two leases: one between the dwelling owner and the lessee, and one between the provider and the tenant. State and territory residential tenancies acts apply to both leases. |
Collection and usage attributes | |
| Comments: | Head-leasing is commonly undertaken in the social housing sector, where non-Government organisations head-lease housing stock from the private sector and state and territory Governments, and sublease it directly to the tenants. It is important to identify those dwellings that are head-leased from the private sector, as maintenance and other management costs are generally incurred by the owner, and therefore may not be captured in the annual data collections. |
