CRP Information for Landlords

You must give each renter a CRP by January 31, 2022.

Renters use the CRP to apply for the Renter’s Property Tax Refund.

Property owners and managers registered in e-Services can submit CRPs for one or more properties by uploading a file. To learn more, see Certificates of Rent Paid File Formats. 

You can also use a certified software product. See Certificate of Rent Paid Software.

For each qualifying resident, follow the instructions below:

1. On line B, enter the amount of Housing Support (formerly GRH) payments you received on the resident's behalf
2. Multiply the number of months the resident lived in the residence by $830 (the assumed monthly rent for 2021, adjusted each year)
   • If the resident paid less than $830 a month, use the lesser amount
   • If the resident lived in the residence for part of the month, prorate the rent ($830 or less) for that month
   • Enter the result on line 1

Example:	Renter lived in the nursing home from January 1 through June 10. The renter had five full months and one partial month in the unit.
Five Full Months	$830 x 5 months = $4,150
One Partial Month	$830 x (10 days / 30 days) = $276.67
Total Rent	$4,150 + $277 = $4,427 (round to nearest dollar)

You must include all payments made under a rental agreement, paid in exchange for the right to stay at the assisted living facility. Do not include medical services in total rent paid on the CRP.

We will accept any reasonable method for determining what portion of rent consists of medical services. If there are specific costs for medical services included in the lease agreement, exclude those amounts from line 1 of the CRP. Otherwise, include the full amount of rent paid on line 1 of the CRP.

For each qualifying resident, follow the instructions below:

1. On line A, enter the amount of Medicaid you received on the resident’s behalf. To calculate this, 
   • Multiply the daily (per diem) rate by the number of days billed during the year
   • Subtract the annual Medical Assistance spend-down amount
2. On line B, enter the amount of Housing Support (formerly Group Residential Housing) payments you received on the resident’s behalf
3. Multiply the number of months the resident lived in the facility by $530 (the assumed monthly rent for 2021, adjusted each year)
   • If the resident paid less than $530 a month, use the lesser amount
   • If the resident lived in the facility for part of the month, prorate the rent ($530 or less) for that month
   • Enter the result on line 1

Example:	Renter lived in the nursing home from January 1 through June 10. The renter had five full months and one partial month in the unit.
Five Full Months	$530 x 5 months = $2,650
One Partial Month	$530 x (10 days / 30 days) = $177
Total Rent	$2,650 + $177 = $2,827
