On the public housing lease agreement with tenants, do utilities have to be specified exactly? Or, is it acceptable to state, “electric, water, sewer, trash, gas, as applicable”?
According to (24 CFR 966.4(a)(iv)), the lease must state what utilities, services, and equipment are to be supplied by the PHA and what utilities and appliances are to be paid for by the tenant. When maintaining a utility allowance schedule for all tenant-paid utilities (24 CFR 982.517(b)(ii)), the PHA must classify utilities and other housing services according to the following general categories: space heating; air conditioning; cooking; water heating; water; sewer; trash collection (disposal of waste and refuse); other electric; refrigerator (cost of tenant-supplied refrigerator); range (cost of tenant-supplied range); and other specified housing services. The cost of each utility and housing service category must be stated separately.
