Chapter 14-58. OWNER EVICTION GUIDELINES AND GROUNDS FOR TERMINATION FROM THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM |
Section 14-5801. OWNER NOTICE TO VACATE
-
5801.1During or any time after the first term of the lease, the Owner shall use legal means to evict the Family pursuant to the District of Columbia Rental Housing Act and applicable federal law. Service of a notice to vacate which does not comply with the lease and local or federal laws is not sufficient to evict a tenant.
5801.2Where there is any conflict between the terms of a lease and federal or local law, federal or local law shall prevail.
5801.3Eviction of a Family by the Owner shall not, in and of itself, constitute a violation of a Family’s obligations under the Program. DCHA shall not terminate Program assistance based solely on the fact that a Family has been evicted from a property.
5801.4A Family who has been evicted shall be issued a transfer voucher to move to another unit, unless there are other valid grounds, as outlined in local regulations, to deny issuance of a transfer voucher.
