Do I need to keep copies of CRPs I issue?

You must keep a copy of all CRPs four years after issuing.

You must provide a separate CRP to each adult renter who lived in the rental unit. You must issue a CRP even if their name was not on the lease. Only one name should be on each CRP.

For mobile homes and mobile home parks, go to the ‘How do I issue CRPs if I manage a mobile home or mobile home park?’ section.

If one or more adult renters live in the same unit for the entire year, show that each renter paid an equal amount of rent.

Married couples must receive separate CRPs showing they each paid an equal portion of rent.

If an adult renter moved in or out during the year, show that each renter paid an equal amount of rent for the months they lived in the rental unit together.

Example: Avery and Riley live together during the first six months of the year. Avery moves out at the end of June. The CRP for Avery should include 50% of the total rent paid for the unit for January - June. The CRP for Riley should also include 50% of the total rent paid for the unit for January - June but should also include 100% of the total rent paid for the unit for the rest of the year, July - December.

If a renter requests a corrected CRP because their dependent received one, the property owner will not be faulted if they provide a corrected CRP based on renter request.

Note: If there are multiple renters in a unit and each have their own agreement with you and pay you directly, then you should enter the actual amount they paid.

Use these tables to determine how to issue CRPs.
