Hello! Have any VA landlords gotten rent payments from the VA RRP yet? I got a call from our property manager saying the RRP is now requiring proof of a lease lasting at least six months out. Also wondering if anyone else has heard this. Don't see anything about it on the RRP website.
Our tenant was out of work and missed December’s rent. She submitted a RRP application and I submitted the required paperwork but I have not gotten anything from the RRP yet.
Complicating matters is that we gave tenants notice that the lease will be up at end of March. So clearly we cannot submit a lease going six months forward. Lease has been month to month for several years now.
We had been planning for a while to sell the house this spring. Timing is unfortunate bc we gave notice shortly after the missed rent.
I am a property manager and I have not heard that they are requiring a lease 6 months out. The only thing they currently require is that the tenant is not on a month-to-month lease. I would ask them if they are planning to pay the full 6 months then you will provide a 6 month lease. As a property manager, I am running into RRP stating that they will not give me information on the tenant's status because of privacy so I had all of my tenants sign a "release of information authorization" and a FOIA request so that I have access to their status and all updates.
