Home From Home - Northern Ireland Housing Executive

The HRP is the household member who:
1) owns the dwelling/accommodation, or
2) is legally responsible for the rent of the dwelling/accommodation, or
3) is living in the dwelling/accommodation as an emolument or perquisite,
or
4) is living in the dwelling/accommodation by virtue of some relationship to
the owner or lessee, who is not a member of the household.
In the case of a joint tenancy or joint ownership of a dwelling, the person with
the higher annual income is the HRP. If both people have the same income,
the older of the two is the HRP.
