National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS)
What is NRAS?
The National Rental Affordability Scheme is a rental program that provides affordable rentals at a minimum 20% discount from the typical market rent for the property. Properties must be rented to eligible tenants at a discount rate from the typical market rent and in doing so, an annual payment is provided to property owners.
