  • The family has undeclared income or assets.
  • The family uses false documents, such as false birth certificates or marriage licenses.
  • Violations of the Law committed by participants of HACR's Housing Programs
  • Family subleases all or part of the unit.
  • The family owns or has an interest in the unit.
  • The unit is occupied by both the owner and the family.
  • The owner charges/collects additional payments from the family not agreed upon in the lease.
  • The owner knowingly accepts Housing Authority payments for a vacant unit.
