Who should issue a Certificate of Rent Paid (CRP)?

All rental property owners, managers, or operators must provide a CRP to each person who rented from them during the previous year unless the property is tax-exempt or they are a member of a manufactured home cooperative park.

 

When should I receive my CRP?

You should have received a CRP by January 31, 2015 if:

  • property tax was payable in 2014 on the property, or
  • property tax payments were not required but “payments in lieu of property taxes” were made

 

What if I don’t receive a CRP or receive an incorrect CRP?

If your landlord refuses to issue a CRP, or correct a CRP, you may request a Rent Paid Affidavit (RPA) from us. To request an RPA, call us at 651-296-3781 or 1-800-652-9094 (toll-free). You will need to provide information about yourself and your landlord when requesting an RPA.
