Sec. 882.411  Payments for vacancies.

    (a) Vacancies from execution of Contract to initial occupancy. If a 
Contract unit which has been rehabilitated in accordance with this 
Program is not leased within 15 days of the effective date of the 
Contract, the Owner will be entitled to housing assistance payments in 
the amount of 80 percent of the Contract Rent for the unit for a vacancy 
period not exceeding 60 days from the effective date of the Contract, 
provided that the Owner (1) has complied with Sec. Sec. 882.506(d) and 
882.508(c); (2) has taken and continues to take all feasible actions to 
fill the vacancy; and (3) has not rejected any eligible applicant except 
for good cause acceptable to the PHA.
    (b) Vacancies after initial occupancy. (1) If an Eligible Family 
vacates its unit (other than as a result of action by the Owner which is 
in violation of the Lease or the Contract or any applicable law), the 
Owner may receive the housing assistance payments due under the Contract 
for so much of the month in which the Family vacates the unit as the 
unit remains vacant. Should the unit continue to remain vacant, the 
Owner may receive from the PHA a housing assistance payment in the 
amount of 80 percent of the Contract Rent for a vacancy period not 
exceeding an additional month. However, if the Owner collects any of the 
Family's share of the rent for this period, the payment must be reduced 
to an amount which, when added to the Family's payment, does not exceed 
80 percent of the Contract Rent. Any such excess must be reimbursed by 
the Owner to the PHA. The Owner will not be entitled to any payment 
under this paragraph (b)(1) of this section unless the Owner:
    (i) Immediately upon learning of the vacancy, has notified the PHA 
of the vacancy or prospective vacancy, and

    (ii) has taken and continues to take all feasible actions specified 
in paragraphs (a) (2) and (3) of this section.
    (2) If the Owner evicts an Eligible Family, the Owner will not be 
entitled to any payment under paragraph (b)(1) of this section unless 
the PHA determines that the Owner complied with all requirements of the 
Contract.
    (c) Prohibition of double compensation for vacancies. The Owner will 
not be entitled to housing assistance payments with respect to vacant 
units under this section if the Owner is entitled to payments from other 
sources (for example, payments for losses of rental income incurred for 
holding units vacant for relocatees pursuant to Title I of the HCD Act 
of 1974 or payments for unpaid rent under Sec. 882.414 (Security and 
Utility Deposits)).
