HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 — Occupancy Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs · 2026 edition · updated 2026-10-05 · United States

  • A. If an applicant refuses to sign forms HUD-9887 or HUD-9887-A or the owner’s verification forms, the owner must deny assistance.

  • B. If a tenant or any member of the tenant’s family refuses to sign the required verification and consent forms, the owner must terminate the household’s assistance. If the owner intends to terminate assistance for this reason, the owner must follow procedures established in the lease that require the tenant to pay the HUD-approved market rent for the unit. In a Section 202 PRAC or Section 811 PRAC project, the tenant may be evicted if the tenant or any member of the tenant’s family refuses to sign the required verification and consent forms.

  • C. If a tenant is unable to sign the forms on time due to extenuating circumstances, the owner must document the reasons for the delay in the tenant file and indicate how and when the tenant will provide the proper signature.
