Rent in a Motel, Hotel, or other Short-Term Housing Rental
Individuals who stay in a motel, hotel, or other short-term housing rental can qualify to receive a CRP if it is their permanent residence and if the stay is 30 consecutive days or more. Line 1 of the CRP must be for rent only, not for any services. Often, motels, hotels, and other short-term housing rentals are unaware of the requirement to fill out the CRP for the renter. The renter may contact the department to request a Rent Paid Affidavit (RPA) to take the place of the CRP if the hotel, motel, or other short-term housing rental refuses to complete a CRP.
