Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 17-76 <br />Security Deposits [24 CFR 983.259] <br />The owner may collect a security deposit from the tenant. The PHA may prohibit security <br />deposits in excess of private market practice, or in excess of amounts charged by the owner to <br />unassisted tenants. <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will allow the owner to collect a security deposit amount the owner determines is <br />appropriate and legal under California tenant-landlord law. <br />When the tenant moves out of a contract unit, the owner, subject to state and local law, may use <br />the security deposit, including any interest on the deposit, in accordance with the lease, as <br />reimbursement for any unpaid tenant rent, damages to the unit, or other amounts owed by the <br />tenant under the lease. <br />The owner must give the tenant a written list of all items charged against the security deposit and <br />the amount of each item. After deducting the amount used to reimburse the owner, the owner <br />must promptly refund the full amount of the balance to the tenant. <br />If the security deposit does not cover the amount owed by the tenant under the lease, the owner <br />may seek to collect the balance from the tenant. The PHA has no liability or responsibility for <br />payment of any amount owed by the family to the owner. <br />EXHIBIT 1
