Queueing rules

This is a brief summary of Boplats Syd’s queueing rules and contains the basic rules for the housing queue, queueing times, queueing fees and the allocation process.

• You can join the housing queue from the calendar year of your 16th birthday 
• Your queueing time is counted from the date on which the queueing fee has been received in Boplats Syd’s bank account and remains active as long as you pay the annual queueing fee within the specified time
• Your registration is personal and your queueing time cannot be transferred to someone else (death is an exception – see the complete queueing rules)
• You cannot apply for an apartment on behalf of someone else. To get an apartment via Boplats Syd, you must move in, register as living there and make this your permanent home
• You are responsible for ensuring that all information and documentation you submit to Boplats Syd are updated and correct. Your details will be checked if you are considered for an apartment 
• Boplats Syd has a straight queue. All apartments are allocated on the basis of accrued queueing time. The applicant who has been in the queue the longest and meets the landlord’s requirements will be offered the apartment 
• No discriminatory demands may be made by the landlord
• An answer of Yes to the offer of an apartment after viewing is binding. If you are first in the queue, your other expressions of interest will automatically be removed
