AHAC Subcommittee Recommendation 10/15/24
Affordable Housing Rental Unit Tennant Grace Period Policy
Each tenant will be given a 12-month grace period once they are found to be out of compliance
during a yearly monitoring. Tenant Household Income will be calculated in accordance with LDC
Section 2.06.05.B.4. (using most recent filed tax return).
This Policy does not apply in the event that the tenant’s change in income is the result of:
(1) a change in employment; (2) a change in marital status; or (3) additional income from
sources other than the tenant’s current employer.
Scenario:
1. A household is initially income qualified to lease an affordable unit.
2. At some point the tenant receives a promotion/raise that pushes them over the income limit.
3. Tenant’s new income is reported on their yearly tax return.
4. During the yearly monitoring the tenant is found to be over income.
5. Tenant is put on notice that their household income will be recalculated at the next yearly
monitoring, and if still over income, the developer must replace them with an income
qualifying household; alternatively, the developer could certify the occupant of an alternate
unit.
-----------------
Existing AHDB LDC Section on How Income is Calculated:
2.06.05.B.4. Income verification. The County Manager or designee or the developer shall obtain
written verification from the potential occupant (including the entire household) to verify all
regular sources of income to the potential tenant/owner (including the entire household). The
written verification form shall include, at a minimum, the purpose of the verification, a statement
to release information, employer verification of gross annual income or rate of pay, number of
hours worked, frequency of pay, bonuses, tips and commissions and a signature block with the
date of application. The verification shall be valid for up to 90 days prior to occupancy. Upon
expiration of the 90-day period, the information may be verbally updated from the original
sources for an additional 30 days, provided it has been documented by the person preparing the
original verification. After this time, a new verification form must be completed. The income
verification may take the form of the most recent year's filed income tax return for each occupant
who had filed and will occupy the affordable housing unit.
