Section 8
Tenant's Obligations

When a family selects a housing unit that passes a Housing Quality Inspection, the family signs a lease with the property owner for at least one year. After the initial one-year term, either the tenant or the property owner may provide a full 30-day calendar month notice to terminate the lease. A property owner can request payment of one month's rent as a security deposit from the tenant. After the first year the landlord may initiate a new lease or allow the family to remain in the unit on a month-to-month lease.

Families are expected to comply with the lease and the program requirements, pay their share of rent on time, maintain the unit in a clean and sanitary condition, and notify CTI of any changes in income or family composition.
