Housing & Construction Authority: Housing benefits and rental matters

What do I do if I am terminating my lease or changing apartments?

If a lease is being terminated or the applicant is moving to another apartment, he has to close the present application for housing benefits and submit a new one for the new apartment.
The applicant closes the application by logging on to HMS My pages, selecting "Change application" and then "Cancel application".
There the applicant registers the last date of rent as well as selecting an explanation. If the lease has expired, the application is first postponed and if the applicant does not respond within the given time frame, the lease is closed, based on the last date of rent, given a new extended contract for the same apartment has not been registered electronically in HMS Rent register.
