Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 8-11 <br />Family Responsibilities <br />The family may be held responsible for a breach of housing quality standards caused by any of <br />the following: <br /> Tenant-paid utilities not in service; <br /> Failure to provide or maintain appliances owned by the family; and <br /> Damage to the dwelling unit or premises caused by a household member or guest beyond <br />ordinary wear and tear. <br />SAHA Policy <br />Damages beyond ordinary wear and tear will be considered to be damages which could <br />be assessed against the security deposit under state law or in court practice. <br />If the PHA has waived the owner’s responsibility to remedy the violation as outlined under the <br />owner obligations above, the following applies: <br /> If the housing quality standards breach caused by the family is life-threatening, the family <br />must take all steps permissible under the lease and state and local law to ensure the <br />deficiency is corrected within 24 hours of notification. <br /> For other family-caused deficiencies, the family must take all steps permissible under the <br />lease and state and local law to ensure the deficiency is corrected within 30 calendar days of <br />notification (or any PHA-approved extension). <br />If the family has caused a breach of housing quality standards, the PHA must take prompt and <br />vigorous action to enforce the family obligations. The PHA may terminate assistance for the <br />family in accordance with 24 CFR 982.552. <br />EXHIBIT 1
