What are Unauthorized Occupants?

Unauthorized occupants are individuals who reside in a housing unit without the proper authorization from the Long Beach Housing Authority. This includes anyone not listed on the lease agreement or who has not been approved by the Housing Authority to live in the unit. It is important for tenants to ensure that all occupants of their rental unit are duly authorized to avoid violations of their lease terms, which can lead to serious consequences, including the potential loss of housing assistance.
