Tenant Responsibilities

Tenant Responsibility Topics
Rental Payments
Rent is due on the 1st of each month and considered late after the 5th day of the month. If the 5th day of the month falls on a weekend or a holiday, rent will be due the following morning. All rent payments should be turned in at the property manager’s office of the housing community. If payments are submitted to the incorrect location or after the grace period, a late fee will be applied.
Check or money order are the only accepted forms of payment.
Recertifications
Property management is responsible for completing annual income certifications. This is separate from the income certification that is completed by the assigned AHA Housing Specialist.
