Since these are not HUD guidelines, they are just RPM Property Standards, these are in no way an all-inclusive list for a property to be “Section 8” Certified or “approved”; rather, these are minimum standards Agent will strive to achieve at all times, in every unit Managed under this contract. If items are “tenant responsible” repairs that must be done to meet these standards or 2.7, Agent will repair at Owner’s expense, and do it’s best to bill and collect funds from the tenant for items.
