having no income on the most recent certification or recertification obtains employment or receives

income from any source.

TENANT's household income cumulatively increases by $200 or more per month.

If TENANT does not advise LANDLORD of any of these changes between recertifications,

LANDLORD may increase the Tenant Rent to the Contract Rent, but only in accordance with the time

frames and administrative procedures set forth in HUD regulations, handbooks and instructions. Failure

to advise LANDLORD of changes immediately will be considered material noncompliance with this Lease

and may be grounds for termination and eviction. If TENANT does not report interim changes in

household income or other factors as required by this Section 7, and as a result TENANT pays a lower

Tenant Rent than the amount required by HUD formulas, TENANT agrees to reimburse LANDLORD for

the difference between the Tenant Rent he/she should have paid and the rent he/she was charged.

TENANT is not required to reimburse the LANDLORD for undercharges caused solely by LANDLORD's

failure to follow HUD procedures for computing rent or Housing Assistance Payments.

TENANT is not required to but may report any decrease in income or any change in other factors

considered in calculating TENANT’s rent that might decrease the amount of Tenant Rent paid by

TENANT. Unless LANDLORD has confirmation that the decrease in income or change in other factors

will last less than one month, LANDLORD will verify the information and make the appropriate reduction in

Tenant Rent. If, however, TENANT’s income will be partially or fully restored within two months,

LANDLORD may delay the certification process until the new income is known, but the rent reduction will

be retroactive and LANDLORD may not evict TENANT for nonpayment of any portion of the Tenant Rent

due during the period between the date the decrease was reported and the completion of the certification

process. Failure to pay within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice of any Tenant Rent past due for

that time period is grounds for termination of this Lease.

TENANT may request a meeting with LANDLORD to discuss any change in the Total Tenant

Payment, Tenant Rent or Housing Assistance Payment resulting from the recertification processing. If

TENANT requests such a meeting, LANDLORD agrees to meet with TENANT and discuss how

TENANT's Total Tenant Payment, Tenant Rent and Housing Assistance Payments, if any, were

computed.
