Don’t Use Same Household to Qualify Multiple Units

Some managers have tried to use the same household to qualify more than one unit as low income. It’s true that leasing up enough units to meet the set-aside on time can be stressful. But this seemingly time-saving strategy will only lead to noncompliance. If you need to transfer a low-income household shortly after move-in, just follow the unit transfer rule to determine the status of the new and old units. Under that rule, if you move a household to another unit in the same building at your site, the two units swap status.
