Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 13-12 <br />13-II.B. HAP CONTRACT CONTENTS <br />The HAP contract format is required by HUD, specifically Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) <br />Contract, Form HUD-52641. <br />The HAP contract contains three parts. <br />Part A of the contract includes basic contract information: the names of the tenant and all <br />household members, the address of the contract unit, start and end dates of initial lease term, the <br />amount of initial monthly rent to owner, the amount of initial housing assistance payment, the <br />utilities and appliances to be supplied by owner and tenant, and the signatures of the PHA <br />representative and owner [HCV Guidebook, pp. 11-10 and 11-11]. <br />In general, the HAP contract cannot be modified. However, PHAs do have the discretion to add <br />language to Part A of the HAP contract which prohibits the owner from collecting a security <br />deposit in excess of private market practices or in excess of amounts charged to unassisted <br />tenants. PHA policy on the amount of security deposit an owner may collect is found in <br />Chapter 9. <br />PHAs also have the discretion to add language to Part A of the HAP contract that defines when <br />the housing assistance payment by the PHA is deemed received by the owner (e.g., upon mailing <br />by the PHA or actual receipt by the owner). <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA has not adopted a policy that defines when the housing assistance payment by <br />SAHA is deemed received by the owner. Therefore, no modifications to the HAP <br />contract will be necessary. <br />EXHIBIT 1
