The Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program offers rehabilitation assistance to responsible investors who agree to rent to income-eligible tenants.
The property must meet building code requirements upon completion of the rehab. In addition, the property must pass periodic re-inspections over a 5-year period.
Landlords must provide annual re-certification of tenants’ income, and monthly rents.
$1,615.00
Rents limits assume landlord pays water, sewer, trash and snow and ice removal.
(Note that rent limits are lower for 20% of units in a project of 5 or more units.)
Technical Assistance
The standards for the Rental Rehab Program are high. Experienced rehabilitation specialists perform a thorough inspection of the property, identifying problem areas. The rehab specialist works with the owner to write a scope of work (a list of the work that needs to be done) and then helps the owner get bids from contractors. Once the work starts, the rehab specialist makes periodic inspections to make sure the work meets program requirements.
