Persons renting an apartment or room, or living in cooperative housing or a mobile home may be eligible for this program. Renters' rebate can be up to $900 for married couples and up to $700 for single persons. The renters' rebate amount is based on a graduated income scale and amount of rent and utility payments made in the calendar year prior to the year in which the renter applies.*If you are legally married then must do application together, if you are legally separated or divorced then you must do application individually.
Appointments can be made from April 1st-October 1st by calling 203-630-4708, 203-237-0066 or 203-630-4273.
