Rule 14-5329 - HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENT CONTRACT TERMINATION

5329.1

If the owner fails to correct all the owner violations cited within the abatement period, the contract shall be cancelled.

5329.2

As noted in § 5328.2, DCHA shall send the owner and Family a HAP Contract Cancellation Notice informing the owner and tenant of the effective date of the cancellation.

5329.3

While the Contract Cancellation Notice is pending, the abatement shall remain in effect.

5329.4

The Family shall be given a transfer Voucher:

(a) If the Family is within the first year of the HAP contract, a transfer Voucher shall be issued upon the effective date of the cancellation notice; or

(b) If the Family is outside of the first year of the HAP contract, the transfer Voucher shall be issued upon the tenant making a request as outlined on the Contract Cancellation Notice.

5329.5

When the HAP contract is cancelled for HQS violation(s), and the Contract Cancellation Notice expires, it cannot be reinstated. If repairs are done and the unit passes inspection before the effective cancellation date, the cancellation will automatically be rescinded if the Family chooses to remain in the unit.

5329.6

If the tenant remains in the unit after the cancellation of the HAP contract, the tenant may be liable for payment of DCHA's portion of the contract rent.
