Rental REcertification Questionnaire

The form below is the Rental Recertification Questionnaire Form and serves as BCHA's Annual Rental Recertification Form, as listed in the BCHA Community Housing Guidelines, which govern all Community Housing under BCHA's stewardship. The information you provide is CONFIDENTIAL and will not be shared or otherwise disseminated to any person or party that is outside of your current lease or rental agreement without your consent.

The purpose of this form is to ensure that your contact, income, and housing information is up to date and that you continue to be eligible for BCHA's Community Housing Rental Program. This form is required of all Community Housing Renters, as stipulated in the BCHA Deed Covenant attached to your property and governed by the Community Housing Guidelines, Section 3(C), as follows:

"C. Annual Re-Certification to Rent Community Housing
1. The eligibility of Tenants to lease and occupy Community Housing shall be reviewed and verified annually (i.e., re-certified) to ensure that they meet minimum residency and income category requirements under BCHA Guidelines that are in force at the time of the review. BCHA may charge the landlord an annual renewal fee as set by the Board.
2. To assist in this re-certification process, BCHA will send a Rental Renewal Approval Notice and instructions for re-certification.
3.  The Tenant shall, within 10 days:
    (a) Complete the form
    (b) Update application information if any changes
    (c) Send a copy of current pay stub
    (d) Send a copy of most recent tax return
4. The Rental Renewal Notice shall be sent concurrently to the landlord to verify rent, utilities, and lease dates within 10 days of receipt
.​"

    Exceeding Income Limits at Re-Certification (Community Housing Guidelines, Section 3(D)(1)&(2))

    1. If, upon review and re-certification, BCHA determines that the Tenant no longer meets the minimum Income Category requirements (up to a maximum of 10% over category limits), the Tenant may continue to rent and occupy the Community Home at the rental rate, and upon the terms established by the landlord's lease, for up to six (6) additional months in order to provide adequate time to secure new housing.
    2. At the conclusion of six (6) months, if the Tenant desires to remain in the Home, the landlord may, in consultation with BCHA, increase the rent at that time. No rental increase may cause the gross housing costs (Rent +Tenant-paid utilities) to exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Tenant’s gross monthly income.
    An additional 6-month extension may be provided upon successful appeal to the landlord and BCHA based on circumstances of serious illness or other hardship beyond the control of the Tenant.
