Tenants pay 30 percent of their income, less any utility allowance.
Landlords and tenants sign a one-year lease. The tenant cannot move
within the first 12 months of a new contract. The landlord signs a
one-year contract with the Housing Authority. Contracts and leases can be
cancelled
after
the
first
year
with a written notice to the
landlord and
a
copy
to the
Housing Authority. The Housing Authority must receive a copy of all
notices.
Tenants are responsible to pay their portion of the rent directly to
the landlord. The Housing Authority will pay the balance on the first of
each month. Landlords may collect a security deposit to cover costs of
damages or unpaid rent. If a tenant does not pay his or her rent, damages
the unit, or disturbs neighbors, the landlord has
the right within the lease
and the landlord/tenant law to serve an eviction notice. The Housing
Authority only needs a copy of the notice. We cannot give legal advice
with regard to this action.
