The owner is responsible for:
Performing all management and rental functions for the assisted unit, including selecting a voucher-holder to lease the unit, and deciding if the family is suitable for tenancy of the unit.

Complying with equal opportunity requirements.
Preparing and furnishing to the PHA information required under the HAP contract.

Any charges for unit damage by the family.
Enforcing tenant obligations under the lease.
Paying for utilities and services (unless paid by the family under the lease).
