What happens if a unit is leased as a qualifying household and later found out that the household is not income qualified?
If a calculation error was made by management in certifying a household and it is found that the household never income qualified for the unit, the household may not be removed, and the owner/manager must rent the next available unit to a qualified tenant. On the other hand, if the tenant provided false information, he/she can be evicted for violation of lease clause (Refer to Owner’s Compliance Monitoring Manual). To avoid this situation, it is important to verify the income of a household prior to occupancy.
