CRP Information for Landlords

You must give each renter a CRP by January 31, 2021.

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 in. To learn more, see Certificates of Rent Paid. 

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 $800 (the assumed monthly rent for 2020, adjusted each year)
   • If the resident paid less than $800 a month, use the lesser amount
   • If the resident lived in the residence for part of the month, prorate the rent ($800 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	$800 x 5 months = $4,000
One Partial Month	$800 x (10 days / 30 days) = $266.67
Total Rent	$4,000 + $267 = $4,267 (round to nearest dollar)

You should not include payments for non-rental services, such as meals or medical care, when completing CRPs for qualifying residents.

If you can separate the rent amount from other service costs, enter the rent amount directly on line 1 of the CRP.

Note: The amount on line 1 of the CRP must not exceed the total amount actually paid by the resident during the year.

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 $510 (the assumed monthly rent for 2020, adjusted each year)
   • If the resident paid less than $510 a month, use the lesser amount
   • If the resident lived in the facility for part of the month, prorate the rent ($510 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	$510 x 5 months = $2,550
One Partial Month	$510 x (10 days / 30 days) = $170
Total Rent	$2,550 + $170 = $2,720
