Surprise visit to City’s Lavender Hill CRU tenants
12 April 2022
Councillor Booi and officials in the City’s Public Housing Department visited residents in Lavender Hill and handed over sweet treats to a very special tenant
Councillor Booi and officials in the City’s Public Housing Department visited residents in Lavender Hill and handed over sweet treats to a very special tenant, Mrs Johanna Cupido, who has her rental up to date and has an excellent payment history.
‘Mrs Cupido is one example of many tenants who diligently pay their rental every month and we thank all residents who pay, despite their difficult circumstances. Today we thank residents like Mrs Cupido and we remind tenants to please approach us should they face financial challenges.
‘Rental income is used for the important maintenance and upgrades, as well as for future planned work. We ask residents to pay their rent diligently to ensure our CRUs are well maintained and upgraded. Tenants who are struggling to make regular rental payments or who are in arrears may approach us for assistance and enter into a payment arrangement with us. Help is available. Tenants may phone their local housing office to make an appointment so that the City may assist. The City also has an historic debt write off drive with about R2 billion still available to residents with old City debt. Tenants are encouraged to visit their local housing office for more information,’ said Councillor Booi.
Our housing offices are open on weekdays from 08:00 to 15:00.
