PART 5--GENERAL HUD PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS; WAIVERS--Table of Contents
 
  Subpart C--Pet Ownership for the Elderly or Persons With Disabilities
 
Sec. 5.359  Housing programs: Rejection of units by applicants for tenancy.

    (a) An applicant for tenancy in a project for the elderly or persons 
with disabilities may reject a unit offered by a project owner if the 
unit is in close proximity to a dwelling unit in which an existing 
tenant of the project owns or keeps a common household pet. An 
applicant's rejection of a unit under this section shall not adversely 
affect his or her application for tenancy in the project, including (but 
not limited to) his or her position on the project waiting list or 
qualification for any tenant selection preference.
    (b) Nothing in this subpart C imposes a duty on project owners to 
provide alternate dwelling units to existing or prospective tenants 
because of the proximity of common household pets to a particular unit 
or the presence of such pets in the project.
