Rental Registration Exemption

Some properties are exempt from rental registration. To find out if your property qualifies for a rental housing exemption, review the Rental Registration Exemption Affidavit (PDF). If any of the conditions apply, complete an application for exemption as outlined below. 

If your rental unit does not qualify for exemption, you must register your rental housing instead.
