FAQs

What happens if the owner still doesn’t correct the problems?

The Housing Authority will automatically re-inspect the unit.  If the owner fails to correct the problems, the Housing Authority will stop paying the landlord.  The owner will not receive any Housing Assistance Payments until the repairs have been made and verified by a Housing Authority Inspector.  However, you must still keep paying your portion of the rent so that you are still meeting the terms of the lease.  The Housing Authority’s abatement of the unit should not lead to an eviction.
