If a project is owner-occupied, is it still eligible to pursue this credit?

Does a 5-year lease agreement with an option to renew for another 5 years, meet the requirements of this credit?

CI-v4 MRc1:Long-term commitment

Signed letter from Owner i.l.o. lease agreement?

Hello. We are working on a government project and they have asked if instead of providing the signed lease agreement (which is confidential material), if they may provide a signed letter, stating the lease terms + duration. Please advise. Thank you.

I have a similar question but the other way around where they are requesting just to provide the lease and not having to upload the lease. Is it one or the other or both that needs to be provided and uploaded?

Hi Greg and Suong,  An excerpt of the lease agreement which highlights the 10-year commitment must be provided and sensitive infiormation can be redacted as necessary. Anything other than the executed lease agreement is likely insufficient for this credit to be awarded - a common pain point for v4 projects.

Suong, to your question specifically: The lease must be uploaded for the reviewer to award the credit.

I hope this helps! Best,

So to confirm, only 1 document is required; either the lease or the letter or both. It is not required to have both but at a minimum, the lease is required? Thank you

A letter will not be accepted. The lease is the only document a reviewer will accept to award the credit.
