NRAS - What does it mean for YOU!
The National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) is a long term commitment by the Australian Government to investors prepared to build affordable rental housing.
NRAS seeks to address the shortage of affordable rental housing by offering tax-free financial incentives to the business sector, private investor and not for profit housing providers to build and rent affordable dwellings.
NRAS is an Australian Government initiative to:
- stimulate the supply of up to 50,000 new affordable rental dwellings in Australia
- reduce rental costs for low and moderate income households
- encourage large scale investment and innovative management of affordable housing.
The incentive, payable either as a grant or refundable tax offset, is paid annually for up to 10 years. The investor must:
- rent dwellings to eligible tenants
- charge rent at least 20% below the market rent
- provide the dwelling for participation in the scheme for 10 years.

TENANTS
Leader Property Group will co-ordinate property management to be undertaken by NRAS approved Property Managers. Tenants are generally key workers such as police, nurses & teachers.

NRAS is not a public housing program; it is a tax incentive to induce more private investment in the lower price range of the residential construction market. Approximately 1.5 million households are currently eligible to rent NRAS properties, ensuring a strong ongoing demand for NRAS properties and a large pool for investors to choose from.
