A housing authority or its designee shall meet at reasonable times with tenant organizations to confer about complaints and grievances; provided, that if there is more than one tenant organization in any housing project, said authority or its designee shall not be obliged to meet with more than the two organizations in each project which represent, as the housing authority may determine, the largest number of tenants in that project. The housing authority shall inform the tenant organizations of its decisions on any matters presented.
In the operation or management of state-aided low rent housing projects, an authority shall not, if the tenant, in a unit consisting of two bedrooms or less, is a veteran or a widow or widower of a veteran or is a Gold Star Mother and has lived in the residency for at least the last eight consecutive years, deny such a tenant continued occupancy at such residence provided that the rent is not more than three months in arrears.
In determining the net income and assets of an applicant or tenant for the purpose of computing rent, or determining eligibility for admission, or determining eligibility for continued occupancy, information provided by such applicant or tenant shall be given under the pains and penalties of perjury. Such information, as provided by such applicant or tenant, shall be subject to verification by the housing authority.
