2. Processing Time: The Housing Authority may take time to process applications. We recommend staying in touch with your caseworker for updates.
3. Inspection: Once scheduled, we will meet the Housing Authority Inspector. If needed, we will make any corrections and request a re-inspection promptly.
4. Approval & Move-In: After passing inspection, we will receive the approved RTA with rent details and a lease start date. You will review and sign a condition report, which will also serve as your move-out reference.
