TENANCY APPROVAL PIPELINE · STATION 1 OF 9 · RFTA INTAKE

Is this RFTA packet complete?

An incomplete Request for Tenancy Approval is the number-one reason a move stalls on day one. Tick off what the family and owner actually handed you — this page keeps score, starts the 15-day clock, sanity-checks the asked rent against HUD's published SAFMR for the ZIP, and writes the missing-items letter for you.

Next station: can we pay this owner? →

Part A — Unit & tenancy (owner completes)

Form HUD-52517, items 1–9. Every unchecked box is a reason the packet bounces back.

Part B — Utilities & responsibilities

Item 10 — who pays what. A blank utility matrix stalls the utility-allowance step later.

Part C — Disclosures & signatures

Lead-based paint applies to housing built before 1978. Both signatures are required — an unsigned RFTA is not an RFTA.

Enter the date the family handed in the packet and the 15-day inspect-or-notify clock (24 CFR 982.305(b)(2), authorities under 1,250 budgeted units) computes itself.

What this demo is. A job aid keyed to form HUD-52517 (OMB 2577-0169, expires 04/30/2026) — the checklist mirrors the form's own parts, and the completeness score counts your checkboxes; it is not a HUD determination and does not replace your written policy. The SAFMR panel is HUD's published Small Area FMR for the ZIP with the 90%–110% basic range; it is a screening signal, not a rent reasonableness determination — that happens at station 4 with real comparables. If a ZIP is not in the SAFMR file, we say so rather than estimating. The 15-day clock reflects 24 CFR 982.305(b)(2) for PHAs with fewer than 1,250 budgeted units; larger authorities should apply their administrative-plan timeline.
