Additional Owner Policies and Practices

General. In addition to the required content, owners are encouraged to incorporate their own policies and practices regarding the selection of tenants into the tenant selection plan. See Figure 4-2 for a list of recommended topics. By incorporating all policies and procedures in one plan, owners, applicants, and tenants will have one point of reference. Further, owners will have a single document to which they can direct applicants and tenants when questioned about policies and fairness of treatment.

2. Notification of modification to the tenant selection plan. It is also good practice for owners to include a description of the process used to provide notification to applicants on the waiting list and other interested persons (potential applicants) of the implementation of any new or revised tenant selection plan or policies that may affect an application or tenancy.
