Multiple Choice

Who is responsible for creating and maintaining an approved Tenant Selection Plan?

The plan that governs how applicants are screened and chosen for tenancy is created and kept current by the property owner and their management agents. They design the screening criteria, verification processes, and procedures, and they update the plan to reflect changes in laws, program rules, or local conditions. While the administering agency (such as HUD/PHAs) reviews and approves the plan to ensure it complies with requirements, the actual content and ongoing maintenance are the responsibility of the owner and their agents. Tenants and banks aren’t responsible for creating or maintaining this plan.
