Section 14-9811. MOVE-IN AND MOVE-OUT INSPECTIONS

 

9811.1   Prior to the move-in date, DCHA shall conduct a move-in inspection with the AYBL Family.  At the end of the inspection, DCHA and the AYBL Family shall sign the unit inspection form certifying the condition of the unit, and the equipment provided with the unit. The AYBL Family cannot contest any deficiency not included on the move-in inspection form.   

 

9811.2  AYBL Families are required to notify DCHA in writing thirty (30) days prior to vacating the unit.  Failure to provide a thirty (30) day written notice will permit DCHA to charge the tenant with an additional month’s rent and may result in forfeiture of all or part of the security deposit. 

 

9811.3   The DCHA shall conduct a move-out inspection with the AYBL Family prior to the scheduled move-out date. If the AYBL Family vacates the unit without notifying DCHA, DCHA shall inspect the unit within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the family vacating the unit. 

9811.4   The security deposit will be treated in accordance with the DCHA Dwelling Lease Agreement.  Except that, in the event the tenant caused damages exceed the amount of the security deposit, DCHA may deduct the balance due from the savings escrow or take any other action allowable by D.C. law. 

 

9811.5 DCHA shall furnish the vacated AYBL Family with a statement of total charges and any deductions from the security deposit and/or escrow accounts for any damages within thirty (30) calendar days after completion of repairs.
