Covered Property: any property that participates in certain federal housing programs or that has a federal backed mortgage (15 U.S.C. § 9058(a)(2)). Participation in a federal housing program on behalf of any resident makes the entire property a "covered property." That means if there is one participating tenant in a property, then all of the other, non-participating tenants in the same property also qualify as occupant of "covered dwelling" entitled to the notice required by the Act (See 15 U.S.C. § 9058(b); see also Stacy Burleson v. Sun Plaza Ltd. P’ship, No. D-202-CV-02851 (Bernalillo Cty, New Mexico, July 13, 2021), https://www.nhlp.org/wp-content/uploads/NM-Order.pdf).
