Private Tenancy Allowance

Eligibility Criteria

  • Local Officers

    - appointed before October 1, 1990 and of the rank of Inspector on reaching Police Pay Scale 36 (one PPS below Senior Inspector) and above; or

    - at least 20 years of service whichever is the less.

  • Overseas Officers appointed before October 1, 1990

  • Under Civil Service Regulations 852(4)(a) successful applicant may be directed to vacate his/her tenancy if the supply of departmental quarters improves and there is a sufficient number of Inspector married quarters for the officer and other eligible officers to apply. If this happens, it may not be possible to take into account of the applicant's reference as to location of quarters.

    Change of Tenancy Before Expiry of Lease

    Applicant is required to inform DAS before changing to another tenancy. Applications to change tenancy prematurely are approved normally subject to a financial limit, i.e. the PTA payable could not exceed that for the existing tenancy for the remaining period of the lease. If applicant wishes to renew this tenancy or change to a new tenancy, submit an application for PTA (TRY/PTA1 (97)) two months before the lease expires.
