I'm currently looking at new tenants and one of the prospective tenants is a solo mother with one young child that has some health issues meaning she cannot work. She is on a benefit and I presume is getting some sort of housing supplement. I haven't had a tenant who is on the benefit before and I'm trying to work out if she can realistically afford the rent.
Is there a limit on the housing supplement when a person is on the benefit? The rental is in Christchurch and is $385 a week.
If anyone can provide more information on how the WINZ payments work in a case like this I'd be grateful.
Thank you
