LANDLORD PERMISSION AND FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION FORM AND AGREEMENT
FOR THE CITY OF FORT WORTH WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
I.
LANDLORD PERMISSION
TO PERFORM ASSESSMENT & INSPECTIONS FOR RENTAL UNITS
Your multifamily or single family building(s), as applicable, is under consideration to receive services
from the Weatherization Assistance Program ("WAP"). The City of Fort Worth ("City") is under contract
with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs ("TDHCA") to administer the WP in
Tarrant County. The WAP operates under Federal and State rules which have certain requirements of
which you, as a multi-family building landlord, should be aware. At the bottom of this page is a
PERMISSION TO ENTER PREMISES section granting your permission for the City of Fort Worth to
enter your building(s) to perform energy audits, collect eligibility documentation from your tenants, and
complete applications.
Before work begins on your building(s), you will be required to sign a Landlord Agreement, a copy of
which is attached for your review. Please be aware that only residential units may be weatherized.
Meeting rooms, game rooms, laundry rooms, maintenance rooms, daycare centers, office areas or
commercial business areas, and non-residential facilities are not eligible for weatherization services. The
City may request a financial commitment from the building's landlord(s) based on the estimated cost for
each building containing multi-family rental units. Exceptions to this requirement can be made when the
owner is an income-eligible applicant or a non-profit entity. The financial commitment may be in the
form of monetary contributions (checks or money orders), materials, or labor provided to install eligible
measures. All monetary contributions provided by landlords will be used for labor and materials. The
estimated cost of each building will be based on an energy audit that is performed on each individual unit
within the building. When the energy audits are completed, the City will contact you to discuss the
proposed weatherization measures for each building and your financial commitment to the project and the
Landlord Agreement.
After weatherization services have been provided, the City is required to conduct a quality control
inspection to ensure that work was completed in accordance with the standards set forth by the WAP. It is
your responsibility to assist the local City staff in gaining entrance to your property.
