Section 14-9816. LATE PAYMENTS

 

9816.1If the Savings Escrow, Maintenance Escrow or AYBL Tenant Rent payment is not received by the tenth (10th) of the month, an AYBL Non-Compliance Notice shall be issued. DCHA will assess a late charge for payments not received by tenth (10th) of month.

 

9816.2   If payment is received within the month for which the payment was due, the Notice of Non-Compliance for non-payment will be deemed cured.  Any payment received after the end of the month for which the payment is due will automatically convert to rent. The Notice of Non-Compliance for failure to pay rent by the end of the month will also serve as the AYBL families second Notice of Non-compliance. If the AYBL family has not paid all amounts due by the tenth (10th) of the next month, DCHA will issue a third Notice of Non-Compliance for non-payment, which is a basis for termination from the AYBL program.   Any charges still outstanding will be converted to rent due as defined in the Public Housing Dwelling Lease.  After service of the third Notice of Non-Compliance the AYBL family may be terminated from the program.  Failure to pay the converted rent may result in DCHA initiating a landlord and tenant action in the Landlord and Tenant Branch of the D.C. Superior Court for non-payment of rent. 

 

9816.3  An AYBL Family may receive two (2) Notices of Non-Compliance within any twelve (12)-month period.  Any additional late payments will  result  in a Notice of  Termination.
