Section 0770-03-02-.08 - OVERCROWDED AND UNDER OCCUPIED UNITS(1) If the Agency determines that a Contract unit is not decent, safe, and sanitary by reason of increase in Family size, or that a contract unit is larger than appropriate for the size of the Family in occupancy, housing assistance payments with respect to the unit will not be abated; however, the Owner must offer the Family a suitable alternative unit should one be available and the Family will be required to move. If the Owner does not have a suitable available unit, the Agency will assist the Family in finding an appropriate dwelling unit and require the Family to move to such a unit as soon as possible. In no case will a Family be forced to move unless the Family rejects without good reason the offer of a unit which the Agency judges to be acceptable.Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-03-02-.08
