VIRGINIA RMRP LANDLORD AND TENANT HOUSEHOLD AGREEMENT
This agreement details the rights and responsibilities of both Landlord and Tenant under the Virginia Rent and
Mortgage Relief Program (RMRP). By accepting payment of rent relief, I hereby agree to the following:
Landlord Agreement
I, (Landlord), acknowledge and agree to the requirement that
I must not evict the renter for non-payment of rent associated with any of the months for which the rent
relief payment is made. Furthermore, I understand that RMRP funds cannot be used to pay past due
rent prior to April 1, 2020. I understand that if the renter owes past due rent prior to April 1, 2020, I must
work with the tenant to develop an appropriate payment plan. If the tenant cannot adhere to the
conditions within the payment plan, either the tenant or I, may return to the Rent and Mortgage Relief
Program to apply for further assistance, provided the tenant remains eligible and funds are still
available.
I certify that, as part of the intake and assessment of the household, I have attempted to assist the
household with identifying other resources that may be available to them to prevent or divert them from
eviction or foreclosure without using RMRP funding. This included a discussion of alternative resources
available to the household including savings, linkages to mainstream and natural supports, and light-
touch assistance.
Landlords will notify Tenant by email or mail of the amount of rent paid by RMRP and steps to take if
Tenant find they are unable to pay rent in the future.
Furthermore, I acknowledge and agree to reimburse RMRP funds if it is determined at a later date that I
or my Authorized Agent(s) (identified below) recorded inaccurate information contained in the Tenant
Application Packet that resulted in determining the Tenant eligible for RMRP financial assistance when
Tenant was actually ineligible for said assistance.
Furthermore, I shall hold harmless the Commonwealth of Virginia, DHCD, its grantees/agents (including
Virginia Housing) and employees from all claims and demands based upon or arising out of any action
by me, my employees, agents or contractors.
I shall maintain all contractual and household records for at a minimum of five years, and shall provide
access to such records by Virginia Housing as may be requested.
I confirm that, in processing tenant’s application, I have complied with all applicable fair housing laws,
including but not limited to, Virginia's Fair Housing Law which makes it illegal to discriminate in
residential housing on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, elderliness, familial status,
source of funds, sexual orientation, gender identity, status as a veteran, or disability.
Tenant Agreement
I, (Tenant), acknowledge and understand the terms of this
agreement and have provided true and accurate information. I have been given the opportunity to ask
questions and understand that I should seek legal counsel if Landlord is in breach of this agreement.
