     4    4. a. (1) The head of the household must apply every two years to  the
     5  appropriate  rent  control  agency  or  administrative  agency for a tax
     6  abatement certificate on a form prescribed by  said  agency.  Such  form
     7  shall  be made available to any organization, entity, or agency partner-
     8  ing with the supervising agency pursuant to subdivision three-a of  this
     9  section.  Any  completed application received pursuant to paragraph d of
    10  subdivision three-a of this section shall be treated as if it  had  been
    11  received directly from the applicant or participant.
    12    (2)  Upon the adoption of a local law, ordinance, or resolution by the
    13  governing board of a municipality, any head of household that  has  been
    14  issued  a  tax  abatement  certificate pursuant to this section for five
    15  consecutive benefit periods, and whose income  and  residence  have  not
    16  changed  since their last renewal application, shall be eligible to file
    17  a short form renewal. Such statement shall be on a  form  prescribed  by
    18  the  appropriate  rent control agency or administrative agency and shall

     3  contained in their statement is true and correct  to  the  best  of  the
     4  applicant's  knowledge  and belief and stating that they understand that

    17  owner  of  the real property containing the dwelling unit of the head of
    18  the household and to the collecting officer charged  with  the  duty  of

    33  law for the payment of the taxes or the first installment thereof of any
