HOTMA Related Forms Drafting Table 

Summary 

Multifamily Housing (MFH) is updating the forms associated with owner certifications of tenant eligibility and rent procedures. The updates are needed to ensure that the forms reflect changes enacted as part of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA), and for other purposes. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the forms were made available for public comment for a 60-day period via a Federal Register Notice that was published on July 9, 2024. Comments were due on September 9, 2024. The versions of the forms now posted on this Drafting Table reflect revisions made since the close of the 60-day comment period.

The PRA requires a second comment period, with a duration of 30 days. MFH is working to post the Federal Register Notice that will initiate that 30-day comment period. In the meantime, given the inherent complexity of HOTMA and MFH’s desire to ensure that stakeholders have adequate time to consider and offer comment on proposed changes to these forms, MFH is taking the extraordinary step of posting the forms to the Drafting Table now. Via a message to stakeholders, MFH will provide notification once the 30-day Notice has been published in the Federal Register. That 30-day Notice will provide (1) a deadline for submitting comments on these forms and (2) instructions for how to submit them.

The following forms are made available:
