S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly Lee Economic Stimulus Package 309 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14 October 2020). As at the close of business 13 October 2020, how many once-off rental grants of up to $1,000 for residential landlords have been paid as part of the state government economic stimulus package? The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Premier Economic Stimulus Package The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised: The Residential Rental Grant Scheme now provides two rounds of rental grants of up to $1,000 for residential landlords who reduce the rent of a tenant experiencing rental hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To be eligible for a grant, an agreement needs to be in place (e.g. revised rent agreement) that reflects that the landlord has provided rent relief to a tenant: Round 1: The landlord provides rent relief to the tenant(s) within the period from 30 March 2020 to 30 September 2020 (inclusive). Round 2: The landlord provides rent relief to the tenant(s) within the period from 1 October 2020 to 30 March 2021 (inclusive) Residential landlords are eligible for a second round grant irrespective of whether they received a rental grant in the first round, allowing eligible landlords to receive up to $2,000 in grants (where appropriate relief has been provided). The grant is in addition to any land tax relief provided under the government's scheme for landlords. Applications for the both rounds of rental grants will close on 30 March 2021. As at 26 November 2020, 192 grants payments had been made.
