Yes. Renters can qualify for ANCHOR, but the home, income and application-year rules matter. For the 2025 benefit, the official page identifies October 1, 2025 as the qualifying residence date. Rental homes generally must be subject to property taxes, with an exception for qualifying payment-in-lieu-of-taxes properties. Some tax-exempt housing does not qualify. If you are unsure about your building, ask its manager or the municipal tax assessor before applying.
