Vermont Renters Rebate 2 Addresses – The state of Vermont is making substantial changes to its Renters Rebate program. These changes will be in effect for the 2021 income tax filing season and the 2022 tax year. The first is a new Landlord Certification form. This form will replace the Landlord Certificate that was required previously to claim the Rebate. The Landlord Certificate is filed through myVTax and must be completed for each rental property.
VERAP rent payments affect renter credit
VERAP will pay rent back, prospective rent and 18 months’ rent. In addition, the program will pay the unpaid rent after April 1, 2020. You must apply to the housing program if you wish to use VERAP for your rent payments. To apply, you must fill out a tenant application and a landlord application.
Before submitting the application, you must upload the court paperwork. This court document, called the Summons and Complaint, is part of the application. It can be uploaded on a computer or a mobile phone. Once you’ve uploaded the documents, submit the application online.
December 31, 2022 is the last day to apply for VERAP assistance. You can still apply early for 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
You may be eligible to receive additional funds through the state’s COVID-19 rehabilitation program if you have a Vermont rental property. 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 Department of Public Utilities in the state offers resources to assist customers affected by COVID-19. This includes ERAP, RAFT and more. 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 Certification required for landlords
Vermont landlords must file the Landlord Certificate. This form is filed each year by January 31 and is used to let the state know about subsidized rent and renters. 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 can be found on the property tax bill. This information can be found on the Department of Revenue website. 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.
