Hayward property owners complete this affidavit to request an annual Rental Housing Inspection Program exemption for an eligible single-family home.
What this form is
This affidavit lets a property owner request an annual exemption from the Rental Housing Inspection Program by declaring that occupants do not pay rent or other compensation and that the owner claims no related property expenses as a tax deduction. Only single-family homes qualify, and the utility bill must be in the owner’s name. Exemptions expire December 31, so a new request is needed each year.
