        (1)         In carrying out an assessment of the eligibility of a tenant under a social housing tenancy agreement (the agreement ) to reside in social housing premises, or to reside in the class of social housing premises to which the agreement relates, the lessor is to apply the criteria approved under section 71E for the purposes of this Subdivision.

        (2)         The lessor may request the tenant to provide any information that is reasonably required to enable the lessor to determine whether the tenant meets the criteria for the purposes of an assessment under this section.

        (3)         If the tenant refuses to provide any such information to the lessor, the lessor may determine, without further inquiry, that the tenant is not eligible to reside in social housing premises, or to reside in the class of social housing premises to which the agreement relates.

        (4)         In the case of a social housing tenancy agreement that creates a tenancy for a fixed term, an assessment under this section may not be carried out prior to 6 months before the end of the term.
