SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
    Title: Offer to Rent on Month-To-Month Basis and Credit Statement 
of Prospective Tenant, VA Form 26-6725.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0143.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA may rent properties acquired through guaranteed and 
direct home loan programs when there is little likelihood, because of 
market conditions, or an early sale and/or prolonged vacancy may 
encourage vandalism. VA Form 26-6725 is used to establish the landlord 
tenant relationship, state the responsibilities of the parties, 
evidence of tender and acceptance of rental payments, and provide 
credit information for evaluating the prospective tenant's ability to 
meet rental payments. Offers to rent may be received and executed by 
authorized management brokers or VA personnel designated. Without this 
form, VA would have to prepare individual leases.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register document with 
a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published on April 24, 2001, at pages 20721-20722.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households, Business or other for-
profit.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 33 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 20 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
