1.) PROPERTY REGISTRATION FORM

This form is required for all properties; it may be used to register covered units and to claim units exempt. It may also be used to update a rental property’s ownership information and/or update owner/manager contact information.

2.) TENANCY REGISTRATION FORM

Owners/managers must complete this form for EACH RENTED UNIT that is covered by the registration requirement.

For example, if an owner has a property that is comprised of two units and both are rented, then the owner must submit 1) a Property Registration Form, and 2) two Tenancy Registration forms (one for each rented unit).

Note: Tenancy Registration Forms are NOT required for exempt units or vacant units.
