ORANGE COUNTY HAPP ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN Page 7 <br /> Housing Counselors will understand which conditions cause a unit to fail and which <br /> conditions should be noted on the inspection report. Suppliers will be notified <br /> immediately in writing of any repairs which need to be made or which are recommended. <br /> The Unit Supervisor will check inspections for consistency and correctness. He or <br /> she will check units inspected by all Housing Counselors, in all areas of the program <br /> jurisdiction, and, of all housing types. A record will be maintained of all inspection <br /> which have been done by the Unit Supervisor. <br /> In areas where there is an Inspection Department, and units are found with code vio- <br /> lations which affect the acceptance of a unit in the program, the Housing Counselor <br /> may contact the Inspection Department. <br /> VII. LEASE APPROVAL <br /> Generally our awn lease will be used; however if a supplier wants to use a different <br /> lease, the Bouisng Counselor and the Unit Supervisor will review it. If the lease <br /> does not contain any prohibited lease provisions, or any other punitive clauses, it <br /> will be approved. If the supplier wishes to add a "30 day clause" to the model lease, <br /> he may do so. All leases will be for one (1) year, minimum. <br /> No payments will be made until the lease has been executed by the supplier, as well <br /> as by the program participant. A copy of the lease will be kept in the participant's <br /> folder. <br /> VIII. RENT REASONABLENESS <br /> The Housing Counselor will decide, at the time of the inspection, whether the rent <br /> requested by the landlord is tearable to rents in the area, for similar units. <br />
