Housing & Construction Authority: Housing benefits and rental matters

How are housing benefits paid?

Housing benefits are deposited into the applicant's account as it is registered in the application.
It is also permitted to register the landlord's bank account, and the housing benefits are then deposited into that account, given that the applicant has given his consent to this measure in his application.
