Section 8 Transfer Procedures If your rental unit has failed any Housing Quality Inspection, you have the option to transfer on the Section B Program. The following describes the procedure you should follow: 1) You must wait until payment has been discontinued before you can be issued a transfer voucher. But, after the unit has failed the inspection and the landlord has not made the repairs, in timely manner, you should immediately start searching for a new rental unit that will pass inspection. 2) Schedule an appointment with your Housing specialist for a transfer interview. You will receive a transfer voucher and a Request for Tenancy Approval (RTA). 3) After you have located a unit for rent, the RTA must be completed by you and the potential landlord. This RTA needs to be returned to the office before the expiration date of your new voucher. 4) Once your RTA has been properly completed and turned in to your Housing Specialist, and the rent amount is approved, your unit will be Inspected within 48 hours. 5) After the unit has been inspected, you will receive a letter stating whether the unit passed or failed the inspection. 6) If the rental unit passed the inspection the landlord and tenant will be contracted to schedule an appointment to sign the contract. If you decide to transfer one year after residing at the same rental unit, you must give your landlord a thirty (30) day written notice no later than the first day of any given month in which you decide to move. This notice Is to become effective at the end (or the last day) of the month you have chosen. THEN FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE AS INDICATED ABOVE. Note: Prior to receiving a transfer voucher you must not owe the Housing Authority any monies; any rent due to your landlord must be paid (written proof from landlord). All utilities must be.paid up to date (you must show proof) and you must be able to have all of your utilities connected in your name. If after rental payments have been discontinued by the Housing Authority and you are still residing in the rental unit, you are RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN RENT. IF YOU FAIL TO CONTACT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER RENTAL ASSSISTANCE HAS DISCONTINUED (OR CANNOT BE FOUND IN GOOD STANDING ON THE PROGRAM WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME) ANDIOR YOU MOVE OUT OF YOUR RENTAL UNIT WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE PROCEDURES. YOU WILL BE AUTIOMATICALLY TERMINATED FROM THE SECTION 8 PROGRAM. Transfer procedures have been explained to me and I have read and understand that I have the right to transfer under the HUD Rules and Regulations of the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. I also understand that these procedures are final and must be followed in order to continue my Section 8 Rental Assistance. Section 8 Participant Date = N M X �! mZ Section 8 Landlord Date
