Section 1725-2.3 - Responsibility to tenants

(a) Further, members of the board of directors have an obligation to tenants of their projects. Tenants or cooperators will seek and demand the most economical operation of the development in order to obtain the lowest possible rent or carrying charge. The board must meet this demand without endangering the long-term interest of the project, minimizing its essential services or impairing proper maintenance.

(b) Board members should also involve themselves in tenant activities as these afford opportunities for learning about tenant concerns as well as explaining the board's position on matters of mutual interest. The board should seek integration of the housing project and its activities with those of the surrounding neighborhood or community.
