#### 32 When subsidy becomes payable—occupation of house as a home (non‑building loan)
Scope
(1) This section applies if the subsidised loan is:
(a) for the purpose covered by paragraph 30(1)(a) (to buy a house and land), or to discharge another loan for that purpose; and
(b) not for the purpose of building work, or to discharge another loan for that purpose.
Subsidy condition
(2) The Secretary must be satisfied that the subsidised borrower, or a dependant of the subsidised borrower, occupies a house on the land as a home.
> Note 1: This condition need only be satisfied for the first year after the first authorisation day for the subsidy (see section 39).
> Note 2: In the case of a loan for the purpose of building work, a similar occupation condition applies to the continuation of entitlement to subsidy after the completion of the building work (see section 40).
