Cal. Civ. Code § 380.303
Income Certifications
Operative Text
Each prospective Tenant must provide an Income Certification to the Landlord when applying to occupy a Unit and each time thereafter that the Tenant applies to renew the lease for the Unit.
Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.303, every prospective tenant is required to submit an Income Certification to the landlord as part of the initial application process for a unit. This requirement does not end at move-in — the same certification must be provided each time the tenant seeks to renew their lease. The rule ensures that income eligibility is verified both at the outset of tenancy and on an ongoing basis at each renewal cycle.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.303, compliant operators collect a completed Income Certification from each applicant before approving occupancy of a unit. At every subsequent lease renewal, landlords similarly obtain a fresh Income Certification from the renewing tenant before the new lease term begins. Maintaining organized records of these certifications for each tenancy cycle is a standard practice for operators subject to this provision.

Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.303, tenants have a defined obligation to submit an Income Certification both when first applying for a unit and again whenever they apply to renew their lease. Understanding this recurring requirement can help tenants prepare the necessary documentation ahead of each renewal period. Tenants who have questions about what qualifies as an Income Certification or how the process works may find guidance through a local tenant-rights organization or the Illinois Housing Development Authority.
