SHARED HOUSING PROOF OF RESIDENCE Family Living With Another Family 1. The person who owns/rents the property must sign the Proof of Residency Affidavit verifying that the parent/guardian and the student are residing with them at the present time. The Affidavit must be notarized. If the residence is an apartment complex, a letter from the property manager/owner establishing permission to reside there may also be required. 2. The person who owns/rents the property must provide at least one (1) address verification document that establishes their connection to the property. The verification should be in the form of a contract, lease, utility bill, water bill, cable bill, phone bill, or other service bill. 3. The parent/legal guardian will be required to provide two (2) address verification documents for the stated address. At least one document must be: 1) Paycheck Stub 2) W-2 Statement 3) State/Federal Supported Services (DSS, SCDMV, SC Dept. of Employment & Workforce, Social Security Administration, Federal or SC Student Loan, SC Child Support Enforcement, etc.). You may use as a second address verification: 1) Car Registration or 2) Bank Statement Parents/guardians may also be required to provide proof that they are no longer residing at their previous address. This proof can be in the form of a letter from the previous landlord (on letterhead), a cancellation of service notice, or a notarized statement. 4. A completed Application Form and Photo ID are to be submitted with the Proof of Residency Affidavit. Please Note: 1. Once the two address verification documents are provided, an assignment for the term of one school year will be made. The assignment will expire the last day of the current school year. If the parent/legal guardian has recently moved and does not have the two specified address verification documents, a 10-day temporary assignment can be made. Schools have the authority to withdraw students after the temporary assignment expires if the necessary documentation is not received. The Proof of Residence process must be completed and renewed annually. 2. If the temporary Proof of Residence requirements are not completed by the end of the school year, the parent/guardian will not be issued a temporary Proof of Residence assignment for the next school term if they are residing at the same address. The parent/guardian must have all required documents to establish Proof of Residence in cases as such. 3. FEDERAL LAWS PROHIBIT THE USE OF GOVERNMENT UNITS (SECTION 8) AS SHARED HOUSING. Parent/guardian and student must be listed on the lease for government housing. Family Recently Moved 1. Families that have recently moved and are unable to provide a lease and utility statement (verification) to the school must obtain assignment permission. A family that has a copy of their contract/lease and order forms for electrical service, telephone service, water service, or cable service should provide the documents directly to the school. 2. The Registrar s Office will issue temporary assignment letters to families who are in transition to include but not limited to military relocations and real estate closings. Verification of the transition must be provided in the form of a copy of the military orders, a letter from the realtor indicating a closing date, or similar document(s). 3. A completed Registrar s Office Application Form is to be submitted with the Proof of Residence Form. Please Note: Temporary assignments will only cover the time period needed to complete relocation and/or to obtain two address verification documents. At that time, the assignment will be complete for one school year. If currently residing outside of Richland One, out of district tuition fees will be assessed pending relocation to Richland One.
