Employer's Rental of an Employee's Residence During His Participation in the President's Executive Exchange Program

An employer may rent an employee's house during his participation in the President's Executive Exchange Program on the same basis as any ordinary renter. However, 18 U.S.C. § 209 would prohibit an arrangement whereby the employer would rent without using the property or permit the employee to have continued access to the property, because this would have the effect of subsidizing the employee's government service. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored. The original opinion is available at www.justice.gov/file/23001/download.
