unit and thus did not turn in any of the income of the people illegally living there, is the landlord required to turn this over to hud..that is if a tenant reported someone had 3 more people living there than on the lease and everyone in the complex is require to sign legal documents that they swear are true statements, must the management report this..if the person is thrown out for other reasons (too loud etc) can te apartment complx iognore the legal fraud violations the person committed. would the landlord get in trouble with hud if someone had a copy of a complaint letter that stated reason why the neighbor suspected more than one person lived there and later turned a copy of this letter to HUD, would the landlord get in trouble and could the person then be investigated if they had since moved for other violations.

INTERESTING EDIT I called HUD to find out and this is what they told me
They would not usually have to pay it back (the money the government paid for the woman's rent that these men living there rent free did not have to pay) they would not do anything to them as far as prosecute them for a crime unless it involved hundreds of thousands of dollars..they consider it too petty
What would happen usually is one of three things
1. the landlord would give them a warning and they would have ten days to get the people out or to get all their income and documentation to live there through the normal channels (ie--provide police record, credit check etc)
2. ban them from the HUD program (which means they would if they did not get evicted have to pay the full rent)--generally the ban would only be at that project but sometimes at others
3, evict them if they had enough evidence of lease violations after they found out the people were really living there(like they might do an inspection

and see if men's clothes were there), require them to show their utility bills and stuff from where they did live, or hire a PI.
they said when you contact HUD with a fraud complaint they contact the management and then they do one of the above three steps..wow this makes it easy to cheat with no real penalties..

Fraud on any government contract puts everyone involved at a legal risk. The landlord could lose his Section 8 rental dealings.

No. I tell lies to my consumers each and every time i bypass to paintings, infront of my colleagues and with the understanding and approval of my boss. in case you disapprove then you actually tell me a thanks to calm an 80 4 365 days previous widow who's hysterical about getting living house because she had a toddler the former day and her husband would not understand a thanks to safeguard it. My reaction to her is that she is staying with us to get nicely, she will be able to no longer be any good to the toddler if she is going living house and collapses and that i have despatched a nurse to assist her husband.

Everyone would get in trouble, everyone would get investigated including the person that snitched them out.
