Tenancy Services

Long-term tenancies

NTHT is a community housing provider and currently owns and manages 15 dwellings. Four two-bedroom houses were built on Kawai Street, Nelson to the Trust's specifications by Tasman Holdings Ltd in 2006. In June 2007 these houses won the Registered Master Builders Regional House of the Year Award in their category, and were a category winner in the 2007 national award competition. Canterbury Court – nine 2-bedroom homes were also completed July 2010, in Bramley Street, Richmond by Jennian Homes.

Our houses have the following energy-saving features:

Solar water heating
Double glazing
Heat pumps
Extra insulation

The houses are also designed to cater for disabled use with wheelchair-accessible doorways, wet-area showers and an internal garage.

The Trust also owns two three-bedroom family houses in Murphy Street, Nelson and Salisbury Road, Richmond. All 15 dwellings were financed by a Housing Innovation Fund loan from Housing New Zealand and a grant from Canterbury Community Trust.

The properties are let at approximately 75-80% of market rental, and they are offered to low-mid income households with secure tenancies.
