SAHA's policy on providing information to the owner must be included in the family's briefing packet [24 CFR 982.307(b)(3)]. SARA will provide additional screening information to the owner. 9-I.B. REQUESTING TENANCY APPROVAL [Form HUD-52517] After the family is issued a voucher, the family must locate an eligible unit, with an owner or landlord willing to participate in the voucher program. Once a family finds a suitable unit and the owner is willing to lease the unit under the program, the owner and the family must request SARA to approve the assisted tenancy in the selected unit. The owner and the family must submit the following documents to SARA: • Completed Request for Tenancy Approval (RTA) -Form HUD-52517 • Copy of the proposed lease, including the HUD-prescribed Tenancy Addendum -Form HUD-52641-A • Declaration of Ownership • Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 • Business License • Unit Amenity Form • Tenant/Owner Relationship Form • Proof of Ownership The RTA contains important information about the rental unit selected by the family, including the unit address, number of bedrooms, structure type, year constructed, utilities included in the rent, and the requested beginning date of the lease, necessary for SARA to determine whether to approve the assisted tenancy in this unit. Owners must certify to the most recent amount of rent charged for the unit and provide an explanation for any difference between the prior rent and the proposed rent. Owners must certify that they are not the parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, sister or brother of any member of the family, unless SARA has granted a request for reasonable accommodation for a person with disabilities who is a member of the tenant household. For units constructed prior to 1978, owners must either 1) certify that the unit, common areas, and exterior have been found to be free oflead-based paint by a certified inspector; or 2) attach a lead-based paint disclosure statement. Both the RTA and the proposed lease must be submitted no later than the expiration date stated on the voucher. [HCV GB p.8-15]. The RTA must be signed by both the family and the owner. The owner may submit the RTA on behalf of the family. Completed RTA (including the proposed dwelling lease) must be submitted as hard copies, in- person, by mail, or by fax. The family may not submit, and SARA will not process, more than one (1) RTA at a time. 7/02/12 Page 9-2
