9816

9816.1 If the Savings Escrow, Maintenance Escrow or AYBL Tenant Rent payment is not received by the tenth (10th) of the month, an AYBL Non-Compliance Notice shall be issued. DCHA will assess a late charge for payments not received by the tenth (10th) of month.

9816.2 If payment is received within the month for which the payment was due, the Notice of Non-Compliance for non-payment will be deemed cured. Any payment received after the end of the month for which the payment is due will automatically convert to rent. Any charges still outstanding will be converted to rent due as defined in the Public Housing Dwelling Lease. Failure to pay the converted rent may result in DCHA initiating a landlord and tenant action in the Landlord and Tenant Branch of the D.C. Superior Court for non-payment.

9816.3 For purposes of this Chapter, the Notice of Non-compliance for non-payment is the equivalent of DCHA's Notice to Cure or Vacate, thereby providing a legal basis to initiate a landlord and tenant action in the Landlord and Tenant Branch of the D.C. Superior Court for non-payment.

9816.4 An AYBL Family may receive two (2) Notices of Non-Compliance within any twelve (12)-month period. Any additional late payments will result in a Notice of Termination.
