(Tenant’s Name) (Address)

(Date, at least 120 days prior to the upcoming recertification anniversary date)

Dear ________________:

It will soon be time for your annual recertification. You received a notice of your upcoming annual recertification at an interview just less than a year ago.

Paragraph [15, 10, or 9—indicate the paragraph number that corresponds to the paragraph of the model lease being used for the tenant] of your lease states that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that we review your income and family composition every year to determine if you are still eligible to receive assistance paying your rent.

To complete our review of your income and family composition, you must meet with (Resident Manager, Occupancy Clerk, etc.) at (place of interview) and supply the required information. (Resident Manager, Occupancy Clerk, etc.) will be available for recertification interviews (dates and times available). Please contact (Resident Manager, Occupancy Clerk, etc.) (by phone, at the office) as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for an interview.

Cooperation with the recertification requirement is a condition of continued program participation. You must report the required information and provide the required signatures to enable the owner to process your recertification. If you respond to this notice after (insert the 10[th] day of the 11[th] month after the last annual recertification), paragraph 15 of your lease (if applicable) gives us the right to implement any rent increase resulting from the recertification without providing you a 30-day written notice.

( NOTE: For tenants of all projects, except PRAC projects, add the following sentence.) If you do not respond before (insert recertification anniversary date), paragraph [15 ** or ** 14] of your lease gives us the right to terminate your assistance and charge you the (insert type of rent, either market rent, contract rent or 110% of BMIR rent) effective (insert the recertification anniversary date).

( NOTE: For tenants in PRAC projects add the following sentence.) If you do not respond before (insert the recertification anniversary date), your tenancy may be terminated.

When you attend the interview, you must bring the following information: (List all required information.)

Sincerely,

(Managing Agent, Resident Manager, etc.)
