Property Management

A Minnesota apartment building has 50 units. Ten units are occupied by Section 8 voucher holders. The property manager receives notice of a Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspection for one of the Section 8 units. The manager must:

ADecline the inspection since the property manager, not HUD, controls the property
BArrange access for the inspection, as HQS compliance is required for Section 8 participation✓ Correct
COnly participate if the tenant requests the inspection
DConduct the inspection themselves and submit a report to the housing authority

Explanation

Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspections by the local housing authority are required for properties participating in the Section 8/Housing Choice Voucher program. The property manager must cooperate with these inspections and ensure the units meet HQS standards. Non-compliance can result in the housing authority stopping payments for that unit until deficiencies are corrected.
