Richmond enrolls rental property and registers controlled tenancies

Verified on 2026-08-18 — 45 days ago.

Richmond requires rental properties to enroll with the Rent Program and requires controlled tenancies to maintain the programme's registration record.

Property enrollment reaches rental housing broadly; controlled-tenancy registration carries the narrower rent-control scope.

Confirm both the property enrollment and each controlled tenancy rather than treating one as proof of the other.
