§ 882.506 - Rehabilitation period.

(a) Timely performance of work. After execution of the Agreement, the Owner must promptly proceed with the rehabilitation work as provided in the Agreement. In the event the work is not so commenced, diligently continued, or completed, the PHA will have the right to rescind the Agreement, or take other appropriate action.

(b) Inspections. The PHA must inspect, as appropriate, during rehabilitation to ensure that work is proceeding on schedule and is being accomplished in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, particularly that the work meets the acceptable levels of workmanship and materials specified in the work write-up.

(c) Changes. (1) The Owner must submit to the PHA for approval any changes from the work specified in the Agreement which would alter the design or the quality of the required rehabilitation. The PHA may condition its approval of such changes on a reduction of the Contract Rents. If changes are made without prior PHA approval, the PHA may determine that Contract Rents must be reduced or that the Owner must remedy any deficiency as a condition for acceptance of the unit(s).

(2) Contract Rents may not be increased except in accordance with provisions of § 882.408(d).

(d) List of vacancies. in order that the unit(s) might be promptly occupied, 60 days prior to the scheduled completion of the rehabilitation, the Owner must notify the PHA of any unit(s) which will be vacant on the anticipated effective date of the Contract. The PHA will notify Families of the appropriate size on its waiting list of the availability of the unit.
