Santa Rosa Ran

What Santa Rosa Ran's governing documents say

This is a rental housing community (Santa Rosa Ran) in Casa Grande, AZ, governed by two sets of covenants that restrict the owner/landlord — not residents. The property is subject to affordable housing requirements under the Arizona State Housing Fund Program and a supportive housing covenant for homeless individuals with serious mental illness. These documents run with the land for 20 years and set income limits, rent caps, lease terms, and tenant protections. Residents do not own their units; the rules here apply to how the owner must operate the property.

• Affordability & income limits: One unit (the entire project) is a State-assisted unit. It must be rented to a low-income homeless person with a serious mental illness, initially earning no more than 80% of area median income (adjusted for family size). The tenant pays no more than 30% of adjusted gross income for rent and utilities combined. If income later exceeds 80%, the tenant can stay but pays 30% of income up to fair market rent.
• Rent limits & increases: Rents for the State-assisted unit cannot exceed the lower of 30% of tenant's adjusted income or fair market rent. The owner must submit a rent schedule to Housing annually, and any increase requires 30 days' notice. Rents must also comply with Low HOME Rent or High HOME Rent limits as defined by HUD.
• Lease requirements: Leases must be for at least one year unless both tenant and owner agree to a shorter term. The lease cannot contain certain prohibited terms (e.g., waiving tenant's right to sue, jury trial, or appeal). The owner cannot terminate or refuse to renew except for serious lease violations, law violations, or good cause, with 30 days' written notice.
• Tenant protections & selection: The owner must adopt written tenant selection policies that are consistent with providing housing for low-income families, maintain a waiting list, and provide prompt written rejection reasons. The owner cannot discriminate against Section 8 voucher holders. Tenants cannot be evicted without a court proceeding.
• Property maintenance: The owner must maintain the entire property (not just the assisted unit) in accordance with HUD Housing Quality Standards and all local codes. The Arizona Department of Housing will conduct periodic inspections to verify compliance.
• Supportive housing commitment: Under a separate covenant, the owner must operate one unit as supportive housing for homeless persons with serious mental illness for 20 years from initial occupancy. If the use ceases within 10 years, 100% of the grant must be repaid; if after 10 years, repayment is reduced by 10% per year.
• What this document doesn't cover: These documents are not HOA or condominium rules. They do not address pets, parking, architectural changes, noise, or other resident conduct. Community rules for residents (if any) would be in a separate lease agreement. The documents only bind the property owner/landlord to affordable housing and supportive housing obligations.
