14.04.060 Negotiate Leases

(a) To lease property from the tribe and others for such periods as are authorized by law, and to hold and manage or to sublease the same.

(b) To lease or rent any dwellings, accommodations, lands, buildings, or facilities embraced within any project; to establish and revise rents; and to make rules and regulations concerning the occupancy, rental, care and management of its low income housing units. Such rules and regulations may establish priorities for the admission of tenants, and provide for the eviction of tenants for failure to pay rent, for failure to comply with rules and regulations, or for failure to maintain the premises in satisfactory condition. The Board shall insure that dwelling accommodations in a housing project shall be made available only to families of low income at rentals within their financial reach by:

(1) establishing lower than average rentals for especially needy families; and

(2) by establishing income limits for admission and continued occupancy by low income families. In making these determinations, the Board may take into consideration, family size, composition, age, physical handicaps or other factors which might affect the financial ability of the family to pay rental and shall consider as well such economic factors as may affect the financial stability and solvency of the project.
