Housing & Construction Authority: Housing benefits and rental matters

What documents must be submitted with an application for housing benefits?

Generally, there is no need to submit anything other than your application and, as applicable, the consent of other household members.
Rent agreements have to be registered electronically with HMS, see here for further details.
If further information or documents are needed, you will be contacted via HMS My pages and the e-mail address you gave in your application. If you have chosen non electronic communication, a letter will be mailed to your legal address.
