In addition, the tenant file did not contain a copy of the tenant's signed application or a completed move-out inspection. Criteria: All tenant files should contain support for household income on the recertification. In addition, the tenant file should include a copy of the tenant's signed application and a move-out inspection. Effect: There is no financial effect. Context: A sample of tenant files was selected to ensure compliance with HUD regulations. The test found that one of the files tested was not in compliance. The non compliance did not have a financial effect. The details and results of the sample are as follows: Population - 15, Dollars - N/A; Sample - 2, Dollars - N/A; Not in Compliance - 1, Dollars - N/A; Questioned Costs - None; Cause: Project management failed to obtain support for household income during the recertification process.
