Parties and
The parties to this Agreement are ____(A)____

Length of Time
(Term):

The initial term of this Agreement shall begin
on ____(F)_____ and end on ____(G)_____. After
the initial term ends, the Agreement will
continue for successive terms of one _______(H)____ each unless
automatically terminated as permitted by paragraph 23 of this
Agreement.

and assistance payment, if any. The Tenant
agrees to provide accurate statements of

information and to do so by the date
specified in the Landlord's request. The

that the decrease in income or change in other factors
will last less than one month, the Landlord will verify
the information and make the appropriate rent reduction.
However, if the Tenant's income will be partially or
fully restored within two months, the Landlord may delay
the certification process until the new income is known,
but the rent reduction will be retroactive and the
Landlord may not evict the Tenant for nonpayment of rent
due during the period of the reported decrease and the
completion of the certification process. The Tenant has
thirty days after receiving written notice of any rent
due for the above described time period to pay or the

If the Tenant does not advise the Landlord of these
interim changes, the Landlord may increase the Tenant's

do so only in accordance with the time frames and
administrative procedures set forth in HUD's
regulations, handbooks and instructions on the
administration of multifamily subsidy programs.

The Tenant may request to meet with the Landlord to
discuss how any change in income or other factors

data required by HUD procedures, the Landlord
determines the Tenant is eligible for assistance, and
assistance is available.

Tenant
Obligation
To Repay:

If the tenant submits false information on
any application, certification or request
for interim adjustment or does not report
interim changes in family income or other
factors as required by paragraph 16 of this

the Tenant agrees to reimburse the Landlord for the
difference between the rent he/she should have paid

not required to reimburse the Landlord for
undercharges caused solely by the Landlord's
failure to follow HUD's procedures for computing
rent or assistance payments.

Landlord to assign units in accordance with the
Landlord’s written occupancy standards. These

Tenant is or becomes eligible for a different size
unit, and the required size unit becomes available,
the Tenant agrees to:
