In the case where Owners do not correct HQS violations on a timely basis, CHA staff or its contractor can take one of the following actions to enforce the Owner obligations under the HAP Contract
CHA notifies the Owner and the HCV Program Participant that CHA is terminating the HAPContract on a specified date. The CHA notice must indicate the contract is terminated because of the Owner’s failure to make the necessary repairs to bring the unit into compliance with HQS. CHA must notify the HCV Program Participant that CHA will issue a new voucher if the HCV Program Participant is still eligible for assistance and the Participant may search for a new unit. CHA will also advise the HCV Program Participant that the HCV Program Participant is responsible for paying the full amount of the rent to Owner if remaining in the unit. The HCV Program Participant must provide the Owner a notice of intent to move as required by the existing lease, if deciding to move.
