Question: Will I need to sign a special lease?
Answer: No. The tax credit program doesn't require landlords to have tenants sign a special lease. But you may find a lease addendum with one or two clauses specific to the tax credit program. For example, you can probably expect a clause requiring you to cooperate with your landlord in recertifying and verifying your income each year, and there may be language saying that if your landlord learns that you knowingly gave false or incomplete income information when determining eligibility, this could be grounds for terminating your lease.
