Sec.  983.254  Vacancies.



    (a) Filling vacant units. (1) The owner must promptly notify the PHA 

of any vacancy or expected vacancy in a contract unit. After receiving 

the owner notice, the PHA must make every reasonable effort to refer 

promptly a sufficient number of families for the owner to fill such 

vacancies.

    (2) The owner must lease vacant contract units only to eligible 

families on the PHA waiting list referred by the PHA.

    (3) The PHA and the owner must make reasonable good faith efforts to 

minimize the likelihood and length of any vacancy.

    (b) Reducing number of contract units. If any contract units have 

been vacant for a period of 120 or more days since owner notice of 

vacancy (and notwithstanding the reasonable good faith efforts of the 

PHA to fill such vacancies), the PHA may give notice to the owner 

amending the HAP contract to reduce the number of contract units by 

subtracting the number of contract units (by number of bedrooms) that 

have been vacant for such period.
