Use Checklist to Prove Student Rule Compliance

With certain exceptions, households made up entirely of full-time students aren’t eligible to occupy low-income units at a tax credit site. So when you screen applicants, it’s essential to ask them questions to determine whether you can rent to them without violating this rule, known as the student rule. And you must also make sure throughout the compliance period that you continue renting to households only if they stay eligible under the rule.
