The Housing Board has become more flexible on the eligibility criteria for those wishing to rent its flats under the Public Rental Scheme.
The criteria, listed on its website, no longer state that there is an "income ceiling" which stipulates that an applicant's total household gross income must not exceed $1,500 per month.
