Owners of multifamily residential developments that receive governmental assistance under programs defined in Government Code Section 65863.10, subdivision (a)(3) must register their properties and complete an annual certification of compliance with affordable housing preservation laws. All assisted housing developments with five or more units in which at least 5 percent of the units are subject to affordability restrictions or a rent or mortgage subsidy contract must be certified.
If a property is operated under a ground lease or similar structure, the title holder and the lessee are mutually responsible for the completion of the certification (Gov. Code, § 65863.11, subd. (n)(3)(B)).
