If we ask you to give us proof of your rent arrangements to get Rent Assistance, you can submit a copy of a formal tenancy agreement or Rent Certificate:
We’ll automatically send you a Rent Certificate when either of the following apply:
- you lodge a new claim and a formal tenancy agreement isn’t provided
- you update your address and accommodation details online, at a service centre or by post.
If your Centrelink online account is linked to myGov, you can access the Rent Certificate through the request a document option. You can access it the next working day after your details are updated.
