Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers administering federally assisted housing programs should be familiar with the regulatory citations compiled in HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 5-11, as these rules define the compliance baseline for tenant verification. Compliant operators generally ensure that Social Security Number disclosures are handled per 24 CFR part 5 subpart B, that the EIV system is used as mandated under 24 CFR 5.233, and that reasonable accommodation requests are addressed in accordance with 24 CFR 8.24, 8.32, and 100.204. Maintaining documented procedures aligned with each of these cited regulations is a common practice among operators seeking to meet HUD's verification standards.

Tenants in federally assisted housing benefit from the protections embedded in the regulations catalogued under HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 5-11, which govern how landlords may collect and verify personal and income information. The reasonable accommodation provisions cited there—24 CFR 8.24, 8.32, and 100.204—also protect tenants with disabilities during the verification process. Tenants who believe these rules have not been followed may consider contacting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a local HUD field office, or a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
