24 C.F.R. § 200.925
§ 200.925 Applicability of minimum property standards. (24 CFR Part 200)
Operative Text
All housing constructed under HUD mortgage insurance and low-rent public housing programs shall meet or exceed HUD Minimum Property Standards, except that this requirement shall be applicable to manufactured homes eligible for insurance pursuant to § 203.43f of this chapter only to the extent provided therein. The Minimum Property Standards may be waived to the same extent as the other regulatory requirements for eligibility for insurance under the specific mortgage insurance program involved.
Under 24 CFR Part 200 § 200.925, housing built with the support of HUD mortgage insurance or low-rent public housing programs must meet or surpass HUD's Minimum Property Standards (MPS). Manufactured homes covered under § 203.43f are subject to these standards only to the degree that section specifies. The rule also allows the MPS to be waived under the same conditions that apply to other eligibility requirements for the particular mortgage insurance program in question.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers working within HUD-backed programs governed by § 200.925 generally ensure that all construction meets or exceeds HUD's Minimum Property Standards before seeking or maintaining mortgage insurance eligibility. For manufactured home projects falling under § 203.43f, compliance is measured against the standards outlined in that specific section. Where a waiver of the MPS may be appropriate, compliant operators typically pursue it through the same administrative channels used for other regulatory waivers within the applicable mortgage insurance program.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 200.925 establishes that residents of HUD mortgage-insured or low-rent public housing are entitled to live in housing that meets federal Minimum Property Standards. If a tenant believes their unit falls short of these standards, they may raise the issue as a potential violation with their local HUD field office or public housing authority, or seek guidance from a tenant-rights organization familiar with federal housing regulations. Understanding whether a waiver was granted under § 200.925 can also be relevant when evaluating the basis for a housing quality concern.
