SUBJECT: Tenant Certification Requirements
DATE: May 9, 2017
New Hampshire Housing would like to make all Owners/Agents aware of the Tenant Certification Requirements that are now available on our website. Although most of the information is not new, this information does formalize the guidance that we have been providing over the years.
For Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties, the following two important changes are found in the New Hampshire Web Compliance section:
Beginning with the February 1, 2018 tenant data submission, owners/agents must submit a certification for all LIHTC units that includes, at a minimum, the household composition, student status, rent and utility allowance for that unit, regardless of whether or not the project is 100% LIHTC and exempt from the annual recertification requirement.
Effective with the January 2018 LIHTC compliance monitoring reviews, at least two weeks prior to the review, owners/agents will be asked to complete an upload of all LIHTC unit data.
Please be sure to review all of the requirements and make any necessary changes. If you have any questions please feel free to contact your asset manager.
