1.Internal Transfer
Tenants who have genuine difficulties in continuing living in their existing flats due to special circumstances or on medical/social grounds may apply for transfer to a flat in the same estate. Those tenants who are seriously handicapped or in poor health conditions and in need of a private toilet or washing and cooking facilities may also apply for transfer to a suitable flat in the same estate.

2. Special Transfer
If tenants are in genuine need of housing transfer due to special circumstances or on medical/social grounds but internal transfer cannot solve their problem, they may apply for special transfer to another estate. Should tenants in financial difficulties find it hard to afford the existing rent, they may request transfer to flats of a cheaper rent in another estate through special transfer.

6.External Transfer Exercise
Subject to availability of resources, the Housing Department will launch " External Transfer Exercise" to assist those needy households to further improve their living environment. Invitation for each transfer exercise is made through notice put up in estate offices and individual housing blocks. Details of application, eligibility criteria and particulars of estates available in the exercise, etc., will be posted for tenants' information.
