Units Not Decent, Safe, and Sanitary. If the CA notifies the Owner that it has failed to maintain a dwelling unit in decent, safe, and sanitary condition and the Owner fails to take corrective action within the time prescribed in the notice, the CA may exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Contract, including reduction or suspension of housing assistance payments, even if the Family continues to occupy the unit. If, however, the Family wishes to be rehoused in another dwelling unit with section 8 assistance and the CA does not have other section 8 funds for such purposes, the CA may use the abated housing assistance payments for the purpose of relocating or rehousing the Family in another dwelling unit. If the Family continues to occupy the unit, it will do so in accordance with the terms of its lease, including the termination date and amount of rent payable by the Family.
