                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

 

  CHAPTER V--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR COMMUNITY PLANNING AND 

        DEVELOPMENT, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

 

PART 582_SHELTER PLUS CARE--Table of Contents

 

                     Subpart D_Program Requirements

 

Sec.  582.305  Housing quality standards; rent reasonableness.



    (a) Housing quality standards. Housing assisted under this part must 

meet the applicable housing quality standards (HQS) under Sec.  982.401 

of this title--except that Sec.  982.401(j) of this title does not apply 

and instead part 35, subparts A, B, K and R of this title apply--and, 

for SRO under Sec.  882.803(b) of this title. Before any assistance will 

be provided on behalf of a participant, the recipient, or another entity 

acting on behalf of the recipient (other than the owner of the housing), 

must physically inspect each unit to assure that the unit meets the HQS. 

Assistance will not be provided for units that fail to meet the HQS, 

unless the owner corrects any deficiencies within 30 days from the date 

of the lease agreement and the recipient verifies that all deficiencies 

have been corrected. Recipients must also inspect all units at least 

annually during the grant period to ensure that the units continue to 

meet the HQS.

    (b) Rent reasonableness. HUD will only provide assistance for a unit 

for which the rent is reasonable. For TRA, PRA, and SRA, it is the 

responsibility of the recipient to determine whether the rent charged 

for the unit receiving rental assistance is reasonable in relation to 

rents being charged for comparable unassisted units, taking into account 

the location, size, type, quality, amenities, facilities, and management 

and maintenance of each unit, as well as not in excess of rents 

currently being charged by the same owner for comparable unassisted 

units. For SRO, rents are calculated in accordance with 24 CFR 

882.805(g).
