Sec.  884.108a  Notice upon contract expiration.



    (a) The Contract will provide that the owner will notify each 

assisted family, at least 90 days before the end of the Contract term, 

of any increase in the amount the family will be required to pay as rent 

which may occur as a result of its expiration. If the Contract is to be 

renewed but with a reduction in the number of units covered by it, this 

notice shall be given to each family who will no longer be assisted 

under the Contract.

    (b) The notice provided for in paragraph (a) of this section shall 

be accomplished by: (1) Sending a letter by first class mail, properly 

stamped and addressed, to the family at its address at the project, with 

a proper return address, and (2) serving a copy of the notice on any 

adult person answering the door at the leased dwelling unit, or if no 

adult responds, by placing the notice under or through the door, if 

possible, or else by afffixing the notice to the door. Service shall not 

be considered to be effective until both required notices have been 

accomplished. The date on which the notice shall be considered to be 

received by the family shall be the date on which the owner mails the 

first class letter provided for in this paragraph, or the date on which 

the notice provided for in this paragraph is properly given, whichever 

is later.

    (c) The notice shall advise each affected family that, after the 

expiration date of the Contract, the family will be required to bear the 

entire cost of the rent and that the owner will be free (to the extent 

the project is not otherwise regulated by HUD) to alter the rent without 

HUD approval, but subject to any applicable requirements or restrictions 

under the lease or under State or local law. The notice shall also 

state: (1) The actual (if known) or the estimated rent which will be 

charged following the expiration of the Contract; (2) the difference 

between the rent and the Total Tenant Payment toward rent under the 

Contract; and (3) the date the Contract will expire.

    (d) The owner shall give HUD a certification that families have been 

notified in accordance with this section with an example of the text of 

the notice attached.

    (e) This section applies to all Contracts entered into pursuant to 

an Agreement executed on or after October 1, 1981, or entered into 

pursuant to an Agreement executed before October 1, 1981, but renewed or 

amended on or after October 1, 1984.
