HUD Handbook 4350.3 § 6-30
Documents to Be Provided to Tenants (HUD Occupancy Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4)
Operative Text
Throughout Chapter 6, several documents have been identified that owners must, and in
some cases may, provide tenants when they initially sign the lease and occupy the unit.
This paragraph summarizes all of these documents in Figure 6-9.

*How Your Rent is Determined Fact Sheet*HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 6-30 consolidates, in Figure 6-9, all the documents that owners of HUD-assisted housing are required—or in some cases permitted—to give tenants at the time of initial lease signing and move-in. The list includes core items such as the lease paired with the HUD-50059 or HUD-50059-A form, a move-in inspection form, consent forms, and resident rights and responsibilities materials, as well as conditional items like lead-based paint disclosures, pet rules, and the HUD VAWA lease addendum for Section 8 tenants. Some documents are mandatory for all tenants, while others apply only when specific circumstances are present.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 6-30, compliant operators assemble and deliver the full set of documents listed in Figure 6-9 to each incoming tenant at lease signing and move-in. This means confirming which conditional documents apply—such as the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Form, the HUD VAWA lease addendum for Section 8 properties, or pet rules—and including them alongside the universally required items like the EIV & You brochure and the How Your Rent is Determined Fact Sheet. Maintaining dated, signed acknowledgment records for each document provided is a standard practice that supports compliance during HUD management reviews.

HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 6-30 establishes that tenants in HUD-assisted housing are entitled to receive a defined package of documents when they first sign their lease and move in, as summarized in Figure 6-9. This package generally includes the lease itself, a move-in inspection form, a Resident Rights and Responsibilities brochure, and—where applicable—disclosures related to lead-based paint, pet rules, or the VAWA lease addendum. Tenants who believe they did not receive required documents may raise this concern with the property's management, contact a local HUD field office or tenant-rights organization, or file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
