Renters Rebate Vermont 2022 – Vermont is making significant changes to its Renters Rebate Program. These changes will go into effect for the 2021 tax year and the income tax filing season of 2022. The first is a new Landlord Certification form. This form will replace the Landlord Certificate that was required previously to claim the Rebate. Each rental property must complete the Landlord Certificate, which can be filed through myVTax.
VERAP rent payments affect renter credit
VERAP will pay rent back, prospective rent and 18 months’ rent. The program will also pay any unpaid rent that remains after April 1, 2020. If you want to use VERAP to pay your back rent, you must apply through the housing program. To apply, you must fill out a tenant application and a landlord application.
Upload the court paperwork before you submit the application. The Summons and Complaint are part of the application. You can upload it to a computer or mobile phone. Once you’ve uploaded the documents, submit the application online.
The last date for receiving VERAP assistance is December 31, 2022. However, if you apply early, you can still get assistance. The program will still cover a portion of the rent, and it can pay the landlord’s attorney fees. If you’re eligible, you’ll be able to get your utilities paid.
VERAP rent payments will not affect your renter credit but you should not include them as part of your gross income. VERAP rent payments are not taxable income. However, landlords are liable. A Form 1099 will be sent to the utility provider. Visit the IRS website for more information about VERAP.
COVID-19 related sales/revenue losses may apply for additional funding
If you own a rental property in Vermont, you may qualify to receive additional funds from the state’s COVID-19 recovery program. Interested Vermonters should submit pre-applications for the program. The application deadline and the start date for additional funding will be communicated to applicants.
The state’s Department of Public Utilities offers resources to help customers affected by COVID-19, including ERAP and RAFT. Those whose utilities are affected by the epidemic may also qualify for the Massachusetts Homeowner Assistance Fund, which provides additional funding to qualified homeowners for utility bills. Homeowners who experience foreclosure within seven days of the storm can also apply for assistance through the Division of Banks.
LRC-140 Landlord Certificate required for landlords
Vermont landlords must file the Landlord Certificate. The Landlord Certificate must be filed every year by January 31. It is used to inform the state about renters and subsidized rent. This form includes information about the owner including their mailing address, physical address, school parcel account number and number of rental units. If the rental property is in a Mobile Home Park, it should also list how many individual lots are located there.
This form must be completed by a landlord for each property. A Landlord must record the SPAN of each property they own in the state. It is found on the property tax bill. The Department of Revenue’s website has a link to myVTax to get this information. The rent that is reported must be net rent (net rent is the rent the tenant pays to a landlord for the right of occupancy), not the room charge or utilities.
