continuous occupation under a lease, tenancy agreement or other legal instrument for at least the next three
months following the date of the application to enrol and have paid rent for at least the prescribed amount.

may nominate two persons from amongst themselves who are on either the State or Commonwealth
Electoral Roll, to enrol as owner/occupier electors.
