A new landlord may ask for an inspection before a tenant picks the unit
What the document says“Upon the request of a new landlord, a public housing agency may inspect the dwelling unit owned by the new landlord to determine whether the unit meets the housing quality standards under subparagraph (B) before the unit is selected by a tenant assisted under this subsection.”
The section adds a new clause to section 8(o)(8)(A) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 letting a public housing agency, at a new landlord's request, inspect a unit against the housing quality standards before a tenant with assistance chooses it. A new landlord is defined as an owner who has not previously entered a housing assistance payment contract with a public housing agency under that subsection for any unit.
What the document actually says“Upon the request of a new landlord, a public housing agency may inspect the dwelling unit owned by the new landlord to determine whether the unit meets the housing quality standards under subparagraph (B) before the unit is selected by a tenant assisted under this subsection.”
A landlord new to the program may ask for a check. The housing office may then look at the home. It does so before a tenant with a voucher picks it.
Normally the check comes after a tenant chooses a home. That can mean weeks of waiting. Checking early removes that wait.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
