What if the unit fails inspection?
Under Federal regulations, a unit either passes or fails. Any item that does not meet the standards will cause the unit to fail. The owner will be notified in writing if the unit fails, and what repairs are required in order for the unit to pass the HQS inspection the owner determines whether he/she is willing to make the repairs and informs the tenant and the AHA of this decision. If the owner elects not to make the repairs, the family must choose another unit to receive assistance. If the owner elects to make repairs, the AHA MUST be notified of repair completions, and the unit will be re-inspected. The assistance cannot begin, nor is the contract effective until ALL of the following items have been completed: 1. The unit passes the HQS inspection. 2. The lease and contract have been approved by the AHA. 3. Participant has possession of the unit.
