Abstract
Maintenance of low-income rental housing is a management function that
is a component of facilities, and property management. The program
studied here is supposed to be a community initiative targeting vulnerable
social groups, like pensioners, single female parents, unemployed and the
family homes within Region 4. The main challenge facing region 4`s
housing departments officials as well as the beneficiaries was to have
property management mechanism in place before projects within the
region could be funded and implemented. The aim of the study was to
make the housing officials aware of their responsibilities towards the
tenants, so that they could use the principles of property management on
a daily basis. A structured interview questionnaire comprising of 19
questions that dealt with the respondent’ perceptions, knowledge and
views of low-income rental housing was administered to thirty
respondents
