§ 9-10 Moves.
RCNY § 9-10
(a)A household participating in HRA HOME TBRA may not move to a new unit and maintain eligibility for HRA HOME TBRA except with the prior approval of HRA. HRA may grant such approval and issue a new coupon to the household on the following grounds: (1) The household is overcrowded in the assisted unit; (2) HRA abates HRA HOME TBRA rental assistance payments to the assisted unit or terminates the Rental Assistance Contract pursuant to subdivision (b) of 68 RCNY § 9-09; (3) The lease for the assisted unit has terminated by mutual agreement of the household and landlord and the landlord signs a release of the lease and the Rental Assistance Contract; (4) The landlord has obtained a court judgment or other process allowing the landlord to evict the household; or (5) The need for the move is a direct result of a documented health and safety concern or other good cause, as determined by HRA on a case-by-case basis.
(b)All requirements of 68 RCNY § 9-06 must be met before a household may move to a new assisted unit.
(c)If HRA has approved a move to a new unit, HRA shall reassign the household a unit size, re-determine the household's rent standard amount, and recalculate the HRA HOME TBRA rental assistance amount and the household's total monthly household contribution pursuant to 68 RCNY § 9-08.
(d)Upon an approved move to a new unit, the household shall be recertified pursuant to subdivision (a) of 68 RCNY § 9-07. The household's annual recertification cycle shall coincide with the new lease term.
(e)If a household moves from an assisted unit, HRA HOME TBRA rental assistance payments for such unit shall cease as of the month after the month that the household moves from such unit. The landlord may keep the HRA HOME TBRA rental assistance payment for the month during which the household moves from such unit. (Added City Record 11/30/2015, eff. 12/30/2015)
