SUPPLEMENTARY 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 Form 26-6725 is used to establish the landlord-tenant 
relationship when properties acquired by VA, through operation of the 
guaranteed and direct home loan programs, are rented. The form serves 
as a credit statement and rental offer executed by prospective tenants 
of properties owned by VA. VA may rent properties acquired through 
guaranteed and direct home loan programs when there is little 
likelihood, because of market conditions, of an early sale and/or 
prolonged vacancy may encourage vandalism. VA Form 26-6725 states the 
responsibilities of the parties, evidence of tender and acceptance of 
rental payments, and provides credit information for evaluating the 
prospective tenant's ability to meet rental payments.
    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 Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published on July 24, 2007, at pages 40366-40367.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households and Business or other 
for profit.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 33 hours.
