The family is not liable and cannot be held responsible under the terms of the assisted dwelling lease for any charges pursuant to a separate non-lease agreement between the owner and the family. Non-payment of any charges pursuant to a separate non-lease agreement between the owner and the family cannot be a cause for eviction or termination of tenancy under the terms of the assisted dwelling lease. Separate non-lease agreements that involve additional items, appliances or other services maybe considered amenities offered by the owner and may be taken into consideration when determining the reasonableness of the rent for the property. SAHA Review of Lease SARA will review the dwelling lease for compliance with all applicable requirements. If the dwelling lease is incomplete or incorrect, SARA will notify the family and the owner of the deficiencies. Missing and corrected lease information will only be accepted as hard copies, in-person, by mail, or by fax. SARA will not accept missing and corrected information over the phone Because the initial leasing process istime-sensitive, SARA will attempt to communicate with the owner and family by phone, fax, or email. SAHA will use mail when the parties can't be reached by phone, fax, or email. SAHA is permitted, but is not required, to review the lease to determine if the lease complies with State and local law and is permitted to decline to approve the tenancy if SARA determines that the lease does not comply with State or local law [24 CFR 982.308(c)] 9-I.F. TENANCY APPROVAL [24 CFR 982.305] After receiving the family's Request for Tenancy Approval, with proposed dwelling lease, SARA must promptly notify the family and owner whether the assisted tenancy is approved. Prior to approving the assisted tenancy and execution of a HAP contract, SARA must ensure that all required actions and determinations, discussed in Part I of this chapter have been completed. These actions include ensuring that the unit is eligible; the unit has been inspected by SARA and meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS); the lease offered by the owner is approvable and includes the required Tenancy Addendum; the rent to be charged by the owner for the unit must is reasonable; where the family is initially leasing a unit and the gross rent of the unit exceeds the applicable payment standard for the family, the share of rent to be paid by the family does not exceed 40 percent of the family's monthly adjusted income [24 CFR 982.305(a)]; the owner is an eligible owner, not disapproved by SARA, with no conflicts of interest [24 CFR 982.306]; the family and the owner have executed the lease, including the Tenancy Addendum, and the lead- basedpaint disclosure information [24 CFR 982.305(b)]. SARA will complete its determination within 10 business days of receiving all required information. If the terms of the RTAlproposed lease are changed for any reason, including but not limited to negotiation with SAHA, SARA will obtain corrected copies of the RTA and proposed lease, signed by the family and the owner. 7102112 Page 9-7
