2019-003 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers 14.871 ? Rent Reasonableness Criteria or Specific Requirement ? The Authority must maintain records to document the basis for the determination that rent to the owner is reasonable rent. Condition ? The Authority is required to document rent reasonableness at the time of initial leasing, before any increase in rent to owner and at the HAP contract anniversary if there is a five percent decrease in the published fair market rent in effect 60 days before the HAP contract anniversary. Cause ? Upon change in rent during the term of the HAP contracts, the tenant files did not contain forms comparing the rent of like-kind units. The checklists for 3 files were also not fully completed. Questioned Costs ? Undeterminable Context ? We tested compliance with the Authority?s rent reasonableness forms in 11 tenants and found that 2 tenants did not have a rent reasonableness form for an increase in rent. The rent was deemed reasonable by the Authority once noted by the auditors. Effect ? HAP payments could have been paid to a tenant where rent was not considered reasonable. Recommendation ? We recommend that the Authority establishes internal tenant file review procedures. Repeat Finding ? No Views of Responsible Officials ? The Authority staff became aware of this requirement at an April 2019 training and instituted the requirement on all rent increases at that time for all files going forward. In addition, staff have instituted use of a file checklist to ensure all files contain the required documentation on a consistent basis.
