The Housing Authority advises that the question requires a substantial effort to extract and validate relevant data from historical records that was not possible to complete in the timeframe required. Accordingly numbers of properties paying market rent have been taken as at 30 June in each year, except for the current year where the figure is taken as at 3 March 2016. Rental income for each year has been estimated based on the number of tenancies paying market rent on the relevant date and annualising the weekly rent that was payable as at that same date.
(a) 3 117 tenancies; $37.5 million annual rent.
(b) 2 865 tenancies; $33.0 million annual rent.
(c) 2 969 tenancies; $32.9 million annual rent.
(d) 3 225 tenancies; $34.6 million annual rent.
(e) 1 623 tenancies; $18.9 million annual rent.
(f) 1 566 tenancies; $18.9 million annual rent.
