Cal. Civ. Code § 0770-03-02-.02
OBTAINING AND SCREENING PROPOSALS FROM OWNERS.
Operative Text
(1) Public Notice to Owners. (a) Promptly after receiving the contract authority from HUD, and thereafter as may be necessary, the Agency must make known to the public through publication in a newspaper of general circulation as well as through minority media and other suitable means, the availability and nature of the Program. The notice must inform Owners where they may apply for the Program and must be made in accordance with the Agency’s HUD-approved equal opportunity housing plan and with the HUD guidelines for fair housing requiring the use of the equal housing opportunity logotype, statement and slogan. (2) Owner Proposals. (a) The Agency must develop a proposal format for Owners wishing to apply for participation in the Program which will require, at a minimum, the following information: 1. Name, address and phone number of Owner, 2. Address of building to be rehabilitated and date of construction, 3. Number, type (elevator/nonelevator) and bedroom size of unit(s) to be rehabilitated, 4. Rent(s) charged by bedroom size during 18 months, 5. Number and size of vacant unit(s), 6. Number of units the Owner proposes to be assisted after rehabilitation by bedroom size and family characteristics (size and household type) of present tenants, 7. Whether the Owner anticipates that permanent displacement or temporary relocation of tenants will be necessary and the anticipated length of any temporary relocation. If temporary relocation is anticipated, the Owner must indicate willingness to assume the responsibilities specified in 0770-3-1-.05, 8. A certification that no tenant has been forced to move without cause in the twelve month period preceding the submittal of the proposal, 9. The prior participation of the Owner in HUD Programs, and 10. The Owner’s plans for managing and maintaining the unit(s) under the proposal. (3) Initial Screening of Proposals. (a) Tennessee Housing Development Agency should review all proposals submitted and make an initial determination, based on the data submitted in the proposal, of those proposals which are clearly inappropriate or unresponsive to the Agency’s advertisement. For example, if the Agency has certified in its application that no permanent displacement will be allowed, any proposal which would involve displacement must be rejected at this stage. Similarly, if the Owner suggests that temporary relocation exceeding six months will be required to complete the rehabilitation proposed, that proposal must be rejected. Should the Agency reject a proposal, the Owner must be notified in writing with a statement of the reason(s). Authority: T.C.A. §913-23-115 (18). Administrative History: Original rule filed July 13, 1982; effective August 12, 1982.
Under Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-03-02 et seq. § 0770-03-02-.02, the Tennessee Housing Development Agency is required to publicly advertise the availability of its rehabilitation assistance program, including through minority media, in a manner consistent with fair housing requirements. Property owners who wish to participate must submit detailed proposals covering building information, current rents, tenant characteristics, and plans for managing and maintaining assisted units. The Agency then conducts an initial screening to filter out proposals that are clearly unresponsive or that conflict with program requirements—such as those involving permanent displacement where none is permitted—and must notify rejected owners in writing with reasons.

Property owners interested in participating in the Tennessee Housing Development Agency's rehabilitation program should be aware that Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-03-02 et seq. § 0770-03-02-.02 sets out specific informational requirements for submitted proposals. A compliant proposal typically includes the building's address and construction date, unit types and bedroom sizes, rents charged over the prior 18 months, vacancy data, tenant household characteristics, and a written management and maintenance plan. Owners also generally provide a certification that no tenant was forced to vacate without cause in the preceding 12 months, and they indicate whether temporary relocation will be needed and their willingness to assume the responsibilities that come with it.

Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-03-02 et seq. § 0770-03-02-.02 includes protections relevant to tenants living in buildings whose owners are seeking rehabilitation program assistance. Owners are required to certify that no tenant was displaced without cause in the 12 months before submitting a proposal, and any proposal anticipating permanent displacement may be rejected outright by the Agency where such displacement is prohibited. Tenants who believe an owner has misrepresented displacement history or violated program requirements may consider contacting the Tennessee Housing Development Agency directly, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
