Under-reporting Income
 
HUD conservatively estimates that hundreds of millions of dollars are paid each year on behalf of tenants who falsify their eligibility in order to gain a larger assistance payment. By letting us know that one of our tenants are under-reporting their income, you are helping to ensure that the integrity of the housing assistance program remains intact, and that a tenant is receiving their fair share of assistance.
 
Unauthorized Live-Ins.
 
People who live in the unit who are not on the lease are unauthorized live-ins. People living in a unit who are not on the lease are not reporting their income to the authority and have not undergone a criminal history check as all persons over the age of 18 are required to do. By reporting an unauthorized person living in one of our units, or with one of our Section 8 voucher holders, you are again ensuring the increased integrity of the assistance program.
