For Rental Property Owners and Managing Agents
field_block:node:page:body
If you own or manage a rental property and rent living space to someone, you must provide a CRP to each renter if either of these apply:
- Property tax was payable on the property
- The property is tax-exempt, but you made payments in lieu of property taxes
You must create and submit all Minnesota CRPs using e-Services. You must give each renter a CRP, as an electronic or hard copy, on or before January 31 of each year. To get started:
- Log in to e-Services
- Select the I Want To… tab.
- Select Submit CRPs in the Certificate of Rent Paid section.
Renters: Visit our Renter's Credit webpage for information about using your CRP to claim the Renter's Credit on your income tax return.
