. Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 <br /> <br />Page 3-30 <br />Screening for Suitability as a Tenant [24 CFR 982.307] <br />The PHA has no liability or responsibility to the owner for the family’s behavior or suitability for <br />tenancy. The PHA has the authority to conduct additional screening to determine whether an <br />applicant is likely to be a suitable tenant. <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will not conduct additional screening to determine an applicant family’s <br />suitability for tenancy. <br />The owner is responsible for screening and selection of the family to occupy the owner’s unit. <br />The PHA must inform the owner that screening and selection for tenancy is the responsibility of <br />the owner. An owner may consider a family’s history with respect to factors such as: payment of <br />rent and utilities, caring for a unit and premises, respecting the rights of other residents to the <br />peaceful enjoyment of their housing, criminal activity that is a threat to the health, safety or <br />property of others, and compliance with other essential conditions of tenancy. <br />HUD requires the PHA to provide prospective owners with the family’s current and prior address <br />(as shown in PHA records) and the name and address (if known) of the owner at the family’s <br />current and prior addresses. HUD permits the PHA to provide owners with additional <br />information, as long as families are notified that the information will be provided, and the same <br />type of information is provided to all owners. <br />The PHA may not disclose to the owner any confidential information provided to the PHA by the <br />family in response to a PHA request for documentation of domestic violence, dating violence, <br />sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, except at the written request or with the written <br />consent of the individual providing the documentation [see 24 CFR 5.2007(a)(4)]. <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will inform owners of their responsibility to screen prospective tenants. If <br />requested SAHA will provide owners with the last known owner’s name and phone <br />number, at the time of the initial inspection or before. SAHA will not provide any <br />additional information to the owner, such as tenancy history or criminal history. <br />EXHIBIT 1
