Section 5:27-12.2 - Rental assistance agreements

(a) No rental assistance shall be paid by the Bureau to any owner except pursuant to a rental assistance agreement signed by the owner and the Chief of the Bureau. In the case of a corporation or association, the primary owner shall sign the agreement and an appropriate resolution of the corporation or association shall be submitted.

(b) The agreement shall provide that payment of the rental assistance funds shall be made by the Bureau directly to the HMFA, for credit to the owner's loan account.

(c) Pursuant to statute, the agreement shall require that the owner remit to the Bureau, upon demand by the Bureau, an amount equal to any rental assistance payment made by the Bureau on behalf of any resident having an income in excess of the maximum amount established by the HMFA at any time during the period of time covered by the rental assistance payment.

(d) The agreement shall require the owner to submit to the Bureau quarterly reports setting forth the names, ages, and incomes of all residents and whether or not they are disabled. This information shall be verified by the Bureau at least once annually.

(e) The agreement shall provide that payments on behalf of a resident who leaves the facility shall continue so long as such resident's place is taken within 90 days by another resident.

1. If the place of a resident receiving assistance is not taken by another such eligible resident within 90 days, all rental assistance payments made for the period after the departure of the eligible resident shall be returned to the Bureau upon demand. Such determination shall be made by the Bureau upon review of consecutive quarterly reports.

(f) In the event that the owner commits, or allows to be committed, any violation of the Act or of this chapter or, in the case of a residential health care facility, of applicable Department of Health regulations, and continues to do so after being ordered by the Bureau or Department of Health, as the case may be, to terminate such violation, the Bureau may suspend or terminate rental assistance payments.

(g) No owner shall, without the written permission of the Bureau, fail to comply with any provision of a rental assistance agreement between such owner and the Bureau.
