AN INTRODUCTION TO COMPLIANCE MONITORING
Fo r t he M u lt ifa m ily affo rd ab le h o usin g lo an pr og ra m s
Administered By The Los Angeles Housing Department (lahd)
Thank you for helping to provide safe, decent and affordable housing to the residents of Los
Angeles by securing a multi-family housing rehabilitation loan administered by the City of Los Angeles.
As a condition of the type of funding you received, you agreed to certain occupancy and rent restrictions,
as well as other accompanying affordability and reporting requirements. These requirements are set forth
in the Regulatory Agreement (Covenant) attached to your Loan Agreement, which is recorded against the
property for the term of the Covenant regardless of the loan term, its repayment, or transference of
property ownership. The Occupancy Monitoring Section of the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD)
monitors all covenants administered by LAHD. We welcome you and look forward to working with you for
the duration of your Covenant.
Your Covenant requires you to implement a City-approved Property Management Plan describing
how you will market and manage your property. The Property Management Plan packet has been provided
to guide you in the management of your affordable units. It contains a standardized Property Management
Plan form and other forms required for reporting the information requested in the Plan. It also contains
compliance certification documentation and reporting forms for the restricted units on your property, to be
submitted at initial lease-up, annually, and as requested by LAHD. All properties are required to have a
tenant selection plan. In addition, for properties with five or more units, an affirmative marketing outreach
plan is also required.
It is important that you review your Covenant for specific affordability requirements. A general
summary of your program’s affordability and reporting requirements, based on your funding source, as well
as an Owner Reply Form have been included in the packet to ensure the accurate completion and
submission of all required documents. Please complete the Owner Reply Form and attach all
documentation to it. Failure to fully complete the Owner Reply Form and submit all required documentation
to LAHD at the address below could delay processing or result in a finding of non-compliance. If you have
received, completed and submitted the management plan, it is not necessary to resubmit it.
Again, thank you for your participation in providing affordable housing to the residents of Los
Angeles. If you have any questions or need assistance in completing the compliance certification process,
please contact Occupancy Monitoring at (213) 808-8943 or (213) 808-8929.

All HOME-assisted units in projects with four or less units must be occupied or held vacant and available for rental at affordable rates by
households whose income does not exceed the following percentages of the HUD determined median income: all restricted units must be
rented to households initially at or below the 60% income level, and subsequently at or below the 80% income level, at the high HOME
rent level. A utility allowance must be deducted from the HOME rents for tenant-paid utilities to determine the maximum allowable rent.
Subsidized rent for Section 8 tenants must be within the HOME program rent limits.

On an annual basis, owners must verify their continued compliance with the affordability terms of their covenant by completing, signing
and submitting a Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance and an Occupancy Summary. Owners must also annually certify

A Mandatory Addendum to Lease or Rental Agreement (Addendum), signed by both owner and tenant, must be completed for every

INCREASE IN TENANT INCOME (24CFR92.252):
When a tenant's income, upon reexamination, exceeds the 50% median income limit in a Low HOME Unit, the unit becomes a High HOME

income eligible unit, or rents the next available comparable vacant "floating" unit or HOME-assisted "fixed" trait to a 50% of median
income eligible tenant. When a tenant Household's income, upon reexamination, exceeds the 80% median income limit, the owner must
charge the tenant the lessor ofmarket rent or 30% ofthe tenant's monthly adjusted income for rent and utilities. In projects where the units
"float," the owner must replace the income ineligible unit with an existing income eligible unit or, rent the next available comparable vacant
unit to an income eligible household. Rent increases for "floating" units may not exceed market rates for a comparable, unassisted unit.
In projects where the HOME rent and occupancy requirements are "fixed" to specific units throughout the affordability period, there is no
rent cap other than what is mandated by local law and the tenant's lease. (Note: The rents remains restricted for over-income tenants in
units with both HOME and LIHTC)

of such notice, at a minimum, on the following three occasions: (a) prior to initial rental; (b) one year prior to the expiration date; and (c)
90 days prior to the expiration date. The initial Covenant expiration notification is imbedded into the Addendum and must be filled in
by the owner.

AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING GOALS AND PROCEDURES
Affirmative
Marketing
Goals:
The City of Los Angeles is committed to ensuring decent, affordable housing for its residents. To
further this goal, the City, acting through the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD), devotes
significant resources to building and rehabilitating housing while concentrating on reversing patterns
of decline and disinvestment in distressed neighborhoods. As these new or renewed housing
resources become available, it is critical that they be made available in a manner which compliments
the City's efforts to (1) provide fair access to this scarce resource and to (2) rebuild damaged
commtmities by promoting neighborhood renewal and strengthening.
The purpose of Affirmative Marketing is to market dwelling units in a manner in which individuals
of similar income levels in the same housing market area (defined as the County of Los Angeles)
have available to them a like range of choices in housing regardless of the individual's race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, familial status or national origin.
participant in the City of Los Angeles Housing Department Loan Program, owners are obligated
to Affirmatively Market their restricted units in compliance with, and for the full term of, all
Covenants and conditions attached to their loan. (See Regulatory Agreement)
As
a
The Affirmative Marketing strategies, as defined in the Property Management Plan, must be
completed before tenants can be selected to occupy restricted units. However, during this marketing
outreach period, applications can be accepted and screened in accordance with the designated
methods outlined in Item 10, Page 4 of the Management Plan. If there are interested applicants for
the restricted unit(s) before the marketing period begins or ends, they may be given an application
only after they are apprised of the required Affirmative Marketing process. Regular tenant
application forms may be used for tenant screening.

Affirmative Marketing requirements are designed to promote outreach in the application process and
are not intended to preclude reasonable screening of applicants on the basis of clearly established
and legal selection criteria (e.g., credit history and references).
following is a procedural guideline for implementing the Affirmative Marketing plan that is
designated in your Property Management Plan. (See Property Management Plan; Pages 2-4; Items

responsibility
as a residential rental property owner is to make certain that your tenants have a safe
environment in which to live. The various deficiencies listed below are the most frequently found during
habitability inspections. Failure to make repairs in these areas can cost an owner much more in time and
money than the actual repairs would have cost in the first place. If you are cited and do not make the
necessary repairs within the time frame given by the inspecting agency, you risk heavy fines, court
appearances, and property assessments, and you will have to make the repairs in the end anyway. Why not
do it right the first time?
Your
Familiarize yourself and your managers with the various code requirements. If repairs are made in a timely
fashion much grief and expense will be avoided. The most commonly found deficiencies are covered by
the following code sections:
