Applicants have to earn a gross annual income between $3952 to $20,000 or $76 to $384 weekly to qualify for a PRB flat.  Only the Suva Raiwai, Nairai Road estate of 210 flats have a different income bracket. Applicants interested in the Raiwai flats have to earn an annual gross income of $20,001 to $30,000 or $385 to $576 weekly.  The rents are made affordable, but applicants have to demonstrate the ability to pay the weekly charged rent.

PRB cannot provide the exact date it will allocate you a flat since it has to wait for an existing tenant to vacate before a flat becomes available for you. The outgoing tenant normally provides a short notice of its intention to vacate. After PRB receive keys, the next deserving tenant on its waitlist will be decided and allocated on a first come-first serve basis.

The standard bond for rental housing is $270. Since PRB is a special housing program, you will also be required to pay a month advance rent as a buffer in your flat account for unforeseen circumstances.

The number of family members for each flat are maximum 4 persons for studio flats and 6 persons for 1- and 2-bedroom flats. PRB does not want families to allow their flats to be overcrowded. Most flats are separated by a firewall, and we don’t want overcrowded flats to disturb the peace and privacy of neighbours.

All applicants are encouraged to arrange with their employer to deduct your rent from your wages and remit to PRB. PRB also prioritise allocation to applicants that their employers can assist them with deductions.

All successful applicants will sign a Tenancy Agreement before they are issued with the flat keys. The Tenancy Agreement outlines expected behaviours from PRB tenants and ensures peaceful and harmonious living as well as safeguarding the interests of PRB.  A template of the Tenancy Agreement are available at our website.

No, you are not allowed to have cats, dogs or any other pets at PRB flats. Most estates are not fenced, and you can encounter stray animals which we advise that you do not feed or entertain them.

If spaces are available, yes you are allowed to plant vegetables. We do not allow food plants above knee-height level such as cassava, banana trees, etc. You can contact your PRB representative if you are unsure whether an available land space can be used for planting.

Yes, but PRB must be informed in advance through your respective estate committees, as they need to keep a roll of names of any persons, staying at the estate.

No, consuming alcohol are not permitted in any PRB flats.

PRB policy allows tenants to stay up to a maximum of 6 years.
