Section 1727-4.2 - Rent collection

(a) In the event that the rent payment is not received promptly, summary proceedings should be initiated.

(b) The tenant or cooperator may be charged for service and filing fees and attorney fees in connection with such proceedings, as well as any court costs authorized under the law. Where the lease or rules and regulations do not clearly set forth this fact, they should be revised to include such provision.

(c) It is the responsibility of the housing company to see that proceedings are diligently followed, to point of eviction if necessary, and that counsel pursues collection of any judgment rendered by the court.

(d) Charges may be imposed for unusual administrative costs caused by repeated negligence or willful acts of tenants or cooperators and charged as additional rent. However, such charges may not be imposed without prior approval of the division.

(e) Where a tenant has vacated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, it is still the responsibility of the housing company to locate such tenant and to collect all sums due the company.
