HOUSING AUTHORITYScheme for Persons with a DisabilityWith reference to Scheme for Persons with a Disability published in the Government Gazette of the 13th March 2012, the Housing Authority wishes to effect the following amendment:1. Amend Clause 12 (iii) to read as follows:-(iii) Conditions for Assistance(a) The Authority is entitled to register a General Hypothec according to law, without prejudice to other rights at law and this to guarantee the refund of the cash assistance as well as the observance of all the conditions by the beneficiary.(b) Where the works applied for, are to be effected in a house that is not owned by the applicant, the latter shall be solely responsible to obtain the necessary permits from the owner to effect such works and changes. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the necessary works and changes shall not prejudice in any way the title of lease, emphyteuses or any other title that sustains his possession and occupation of the house. The Authority shall not be responsible if the applicant loses his title due works or changes carried out under this scheme. It is noted that any works effected by virtue of this scheme shall be deemed to be works effected by the applicant and not by the Authority that shall be merely subsidising the price of the works. Thus the Authority shall not be responsible for the works done, which responsibility shall fall solely on the applicant. 2. Amend Clause 16 to read as follows:16. Vacation of Premises on which a Subsidy has been granted and Repayment of Adaptation Cash Assistance (i) A dwelling house on which assistance has been granted under this Scheme shall be used and occupied by the owners/tenants exclusively as their ordinary residence for a period of not less than ten years from the date of the final payment on works carried out under this scheme. In the case of owners, a dwelling house on which assistance has been granted under this Scheme shall not be transferred under any title inter vivos before the lapse of ten years from the final payment on works carried out under this scheme. Notwithstanding the above, the Authority may in its absolute discretion and only in exceptional circumstances in order to avoid or alleviate hardship to any beneficiary of a dwelling house on which assistance has been given under this Scheme, give its consent to the vacation of the dwelling house prior to the lapse of ten years, subject to any condition it may deem appropriate, including without prejudice to the generality of this scheme, a condition to refund any assistance granted and enjoyed by the beneficiary.Except in case of transmission causa mortis, in case the dwelling house on which assistance has been granted under this Scheme is transferred under any title inter vivos, or will not remain in possession and/or occupied by the beneficiary prior to the lapse of ten years from the date of the final payment on works carried out under this scheme, the grant given under this scheme should be fully refunded to the Authority.(ii) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Article, any dwelling house on which assistance has been given under this Scheme shall not be transferred under any title, other than by transmission causa mortis. Where the transfer of the dwelling house on which assistance has been granted under this Scheme is to take place, the beneficiary shall give to the Authority one month notice of his intention to transfer the said dwelling house and the Authority shall thereupon terminate any arrangement for the subsidy under the scheme. (iii) Except in case of transmission causa mortis, if the stairlift/lift is installed in a dwelling house on which a grant was provided under this scheme, and the dwelling house is to be transferred under any title, the refund due to the Authority should be as shown in tables below:In case of stair lift
(iv) The provisions of sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this article shall also apply mutatis mutandis when the beneficiary does not continue to occupy the dwelling house on which assistance has been given under this Scheme as his ordinary residence.
