Lease
Each year, WI-CARH generates a Residential Lease and Amendment to Residential Lease for use in all Rural Development financed housing in Wisconsin. These documents are reviewed and revised each year by WI-CARH's attorney, who updates the lease to incorporate any changes or revisions made to Wisconsin law as well as Rural Development regulations. The documents are then reviewed and approved by Rural Development, so landlords using them will be in compliance with Rural Development requirements.
All existing leases should be replaced with the 2010 form of Residential Lease. This form includes many changes to earlier forms of the Lease which have been made to comply with changes in the law or to ensure the document more closely tracks the requirements of the Rural Development Regulations and Handbook. This form of the Lease is somewhat simpler than earlier forms, in that the options that used to be in Section 28 have been eliminated.
A 2010 revised form of Amendment to Residential Lease accompanies this new form of Residential Lease, just so the landlord has it available for use should it be needed to amend this new form of Residential Lease after it has been signed. The Amendment should not be used with any 2009 or earlier form of Residential Lease.
WI-CARH has also teamed up with Simply Computer Software to give FHA Software users the access and ability to generate their WI-CARH Residential Lease and Amendments forms within their FHA Software program. The lease must still be purchased through the WI-CARH office and then authorization will be given to Simply Computer who will give you the needed tools to access with the software program.
