existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This agency may not conduct
or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless that collection displays a valid OMB control number.

Owner's Certifications.
a.
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.
Address and unit number

Date Rented

c. 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

tenancy. Such screening is the owner’s own responsibility.
14. The owner’s lease must include word-for-word all provisions of the
HUD tenancy addendum.

b.
The owner (including a principal or other interested party) is not the
parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, sister or brother of any member of the
family, unless the PHA has determined (and has notified the owner and the
family of such determination) that approving leasing of the unit, notwithstanding such relationship, would provide reasonable accommodation for a family
member who is a person with disabilities.

15. The PHA will arrange for inspection of the unit and will notify the
owner and family as to whether or not the unit will be approved.
