8The National Rental Affordability Scheme Tenant Consent Form
The National Rental Affordability Scheme ('NRAS' or 'the Scheme') seeks to address the shortage of
affordable rental accommodation by offering a National Rental Incentive (the 'Incentive') to providers of
new rental dwellings. The Incentive is offered on the condition that dwellings are rented to eligible low
and moderate income households at a rate at least 20 per cent below market rates. By requiring a
reduction on market rent of at least 20 per cent, the Scheme substantially improves dwelling
affordability for tenants.
