12. Owner’s Certifications The program regulation requires the PHA to certify that the rent charged to the housing choice voucher tenant is not more than the rent charged for other unassisted comparable units. Owners of projects with more than 4 units must complete the following section for most recently leased comparable unassisted units within the premises.

Check one of the following: Lead-based paint disclosure requirements do not apply because this property was built on or after January 1, 1978. The unit, common areas servicing the unit, and exterior painted surfaces associated with such unit or common areas have been found to be lead-based paint free by a lead-based paint inspector certified under the Federal certification program or under a federally accredited State certification program. A completed statement is attached containing disclosure of known information on lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards in the unit, common areas or exterior painted surfaces, including a statement that the owner has provided the lead hazard information pamphlet to the family. 13. The PHA has not screened the family’s behavior or suitability for tenancy. Such screening is the owner’s responsibility. 14. The owner’s lease must include word-for-word all provisions of the HUD tenancy addendum. 15. The PHA will arrange for inspection of the unit and will notify the owner and family if the unit is not approved.
