SECTION 330:50-25-4. Procedure for moves

(a)   Issuance of Certificate/Voucher.

(1)   If the family has not been recertified within the last 120 days, OHFA will issue the Certificate or Voucher to move after conducting the recertification.

(2)   If the family does not locate a new unit, they may remain in the current unit so long as the owner permits.

(3)   The annual recertification date will be changed to coincide with the new lease update.

(b)   Notice Requirements.

(1)   Briefing sessions emphasize the family's responsibility to give the owner and OHFA proper written notice of any intent to move.

(2)   The family must give the owner the required number of days written notice of intent to vacate specified in the lease and must give a copy to OHFA simultaneously.

(3)   For units under a Certificate contract effective before October 2, 1995, if the family vacates the unit without proper notice in writing to the owner, the family will be responsible for any vacancy loss paid by OHFA.

(c)   Time of contract change.

(1)   A move within the same building or project, or between buildings owned by the same owner, will be processed like any other move except that there will be no overlapping assistance.

(2)   In a move, assistance stops at the old unit at the end of the month in which the tenant ceased to occupy, unless proper notice was given to end a lease mid-month. Assistance will start on the new unit on the effective date of the lease and contract. Assistance payments may overlap for the month in which the family moves.
