DCHA shall have the right to require the Lessee (AYBL Head of Household) to attend rent/escrow review meeting(s) upon written request. Lessee may request rent/escrow review(s) through the manager of his/her property at any time upon written request.

If the Lessee(s) has failed to comply with this subsection, including but not limited to misrepresentation or failure to submit timely to DCHA any facts used in the determination of rent and savings/maintenance escrows, whether intentionally or by mistake, DCHA shall:

(a) Calculate what the AYBL Family's Standard Rent would have been had the proper information been submitted timely to DCHA by the Lessee;
