EXHIBIT 1 Owner Actions That May Result in Disapproval of a Tenancy Request [24 CFR 982.306(c)] HUD regulations permit the PHA to disapprove a request for tenancy for various actions and inactions of the owner. If the PHA disapproves a request for tenancy because an owner is not qualified, it may not terminate the HAP contract for any assisted families that are already living in the owner's properties unless the owner has violated the HAP contract for those units [HCV GB p. 11-4]. SAHA Policy SAHA will refuse to approve a request for tenancy if SAHA becomes aware that any of the following are true: The owner has violated obligations under a HAP contract under Section 8 of the 1937 Act (42 U.S.C. 1437f); The owner has committed fraud, bribery or any other corrupt or criminal act in connection with any federal housing program; The owner has engaged in any drug -related criminal activity or any violent criminal activity; The owner has a history or practice of noncompliance with inspection standards for units leased under the tenant -based programs, or with applicable housing standards for units leased with project -based Section 8 assistance or leased under any other federal housing program; The owner has a history or practice of failing to terminate tenancy of tenants of units assisted under Section 8 or any other federally assisted housing program for activity engaged in by the tenant, any member of the household, a guest or another person under the control of any member of the household that: (i) Threatens the right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents; (ii) Threatens the health or safety of other residents, of employees of the PHA, or of owner employees or other persons engaged in management of the housing; (iii) Threatens the health or safety of, or the right to peaceful enjoyment of their residences, by persons residing in the immediate vicinity of the premises; or (iv) Is drug -related criminal activity or violent criminal activity; The owner has a history or practice of renting units that fail to meet state or local housing codes; or The owner has not paid state or local real estate taxes, fines, or assessment. 025 City Council Ke - 5 2 25
