Example: A member who enters a 'rent-to-buy' scheme to get a refrigerator cannot count that cost as rent.

Example: The member owns two microwaves. It is reasonable for the member to take one of them to the rented home and leave one with their dependants.

Example: A member is promoted from Captain to Major and applies to the Defence Housing Australia to have their rent allowance adjusted to the rent allowance ceiling for a Major. They would also pay the contribution for a Major.
