An owner recertifying by tenant self-certification must examine source documents every sixth year

htf.recertification.source_documents_every_sixth_year · v1.0.0

During the period of affordability the owner must re-examine each tenant's annual income each year using an option the grantee has selected under 24 CFR 93.151(d). An owner who re-examines income through the tenant's written statement and certification under 93.151(d)(2) must examine the source documentation of each tenant's income every 6th year of the affordability period. That sixth-year source-document examination is not required where the tenant or the unit is assisted under the public housing program, a Federal or State project-based rental assistance program, or a Federal tenant-based rental assistance program, because the grantee must accept the income determination made under those programs' rules.
