SAHA Policy If the dwelling lease is incomplete or incorrect, SAHA 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. SAHA will not accept missing and corrected information over the phone Because the initial leasing process is time-sensitive, SAHA will attempt to communicate with the owner and family by phone, fax, or email. SAHA will use mail when the parties ail. The PHA 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 the PHAdetermines that the lease does not comply with State or local law \[24 CFR 982.308(c)\] SAHA Policy refer the family to the Orange County Fair Housing Council if they express any concerns. 9-I.F. TENANCY APPROVAL \[24 CFR 982.305\] After receiving the family's Request for Tenancy Approval, with proposed dwelling lease, the PHA 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, the PHA 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 the PHA 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 owner is an eligible owner, not disapproved by the PHA, 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-based paint disclosure information \[24 CFR 982.305(b)\]. SAHA Policy SAHA will complete its determination within 10 business days of receiving all required information. If the terms of the RTA/proposed lease are changed for any reason, including but not limited to negotiation with SAHA, SAHA will obtain corrected copies of the RTA and proposed lease, signed by the family and the owner. Corrections to the RTA/proposed lease will only be accepted as hard copies, in- person, by mail, or by fax. SAHA will not accept corrections over the phone.
