 3. The amount of rent listed is the amount requested by the landlord. The actual amount of rent the BHA will authorize must be reasonable for the unit as determined by BHA in accordance with federal law . The rental amount cannot be determined until after the unit passes an Housing Quality Standards inspection and the appropriate tenant utility allowance is determined .  

4. The security deposit listed is the amount requested by the owner. If payment of the security deposit is a financial obstacle to you, you may either be able to negotiate with the owner to allow you to pay the security deposit over a series of months or contact one of the following agencies for assistance:
