               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

                           Subpart F_Occupancy

 

Sec.  983.260  Family right to move.



    (a) The family may terminate the assisted lease at any time after 

the first year of occupancy. The family must give the owner advance 

written notice of intent to vacate (with a copy to the PHA) in 

accordance with the lease.

    (b) If the family has elected to terminate the lease in this manner, 

the PHA must offer the family the opportunity for continued tenant-based 

rental assistance, in the form of either assistance under the voucher 

program or other comparable tenant-based rental assistance.

    (c) Before providing notice to terminate the lease under paragraph 

(a) of this section, a family must contact the PHA to request comparable 

tenant-based rental assistance if the family wishes to move with 

continued assistance. If voucher or other comparable tenant-based rental 

assistance is not immediately available upon termination of the family's 

lease of a PBV unit, the PHA must give the family priority to receive 

the next available opportunity for continued tenant-based rental 

assistance.

    (d) If the family terminates the assisted lease before the end of 

one year, the family relinquishes the opportunity for continued tenant-

based assistance.
