In terms of eligibility requirements for renters, Department of Commerce and our community action agencies obtain written approval from the landlord/owner prior to the work on a rented unit. ODOC confirms if the household owns or rents the home during the application process. When a household rents a home, the landowner, tenant, and the Community Action Agency complete the “Weatherization Program Agreement for Rental Units.” This agreement requires the owner to not raise the property’s rent or evict the tenant without legal cause for a period of 36 months after the weatherization improvements are completed. If the owner does not comply with the agreement, the owner is liable for the cost of weatherization improvements. For owners who lease a low-income, federally subsidized residence, the agreement indicates that “Weather Program Agreement for Rental Units” will supersede “any and all rental agreements between the Owner and the other State and/or federal agency. ” Homes of LIHEAP WAP eligible households with elderly, disabled household members, or with young children in the home are weatherized before other households that may be eligible. Priority is given to household with high-energy burden as related to income or higher utility cost. Oklahoma's LIHEAP WAP prioritizes household that receive bill payment assistance.
