PRP.7.13.010 Purpose

(a) The Housing Authority adopts this collections and compliance Subchapter to identify the responsibility for payment and collections, and procedures for eviction in the event of nonpayment. If payments are not made new units cannot be built, existing units cannot be maintained, and administrative costs cannot be paid. Payments must be paid when due to allow the Authority to meet its financial obligations on a timely basis.

(b) For the purposes of this subchapter, rental and homeownership occupants and other families receiving services will be referred to as "tenants". This policy shall apply to tenants who have entered into a lease; homeownership agreement; contract; or any other type of agreement with the Housing Authority.

(c) This subchapter only describes the consequences of violating financial obligations and does not address the policies and procedures that relate to other lease violations.
