The Rural Housing Service (RHS) Office of the Multifamily Housing (MFH) announced an update to Form RD 3560-8 Tenant Certification in anticipation of the July 1, 2025 implementation of HOTMA.
On October 3, 2024, RHS Multifamily Housing extended the implementation of applicable HOTMA regulations to July 1, 2025. All MFH tenant certifications effective on or after July 1, 2025, must comply with HOTMA requirements.
The updated Form RD 3560-8 was published December 06, 2024. It is now available on the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) eForms website.
Tenant certifications can be submitted to the Agency up to 90 days before their effective date. The updated Form RD 3560-8 is for tenant certifications with an effective date of July 1, 2025, or after.
The previous Form RD 3560-8 has been renamed Form RD 3560-8A. The updated form will be used for tenant certifications effective before July 1, 2025.
HOTMA has undergone many changes since it was signed into law. US Housing Consultants offers comprehensive HOTMA training that will get you up to speed and ready to implement HOTMA the right way.
