ADDITIONAL HAP REQUIREMENTS <br />Housing Quality and Design Requirements [24 CFR 983.101(e) and 983.207(a)] <br />The owner is required to maintain and operate the contract units and premises in accordance with <br />HQS, including performance of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance. The owner must <br />provide all the services, maintenance, equipment, and utilities specified in the HAP contract with <br />SARA and in the lease with each assisted family. In addition, maintenance, replacement and <br />redecoration must be in accordance with the standard practice for the building as established by <br />the owner. <br />SARA may elect to establish additional requirements for quality, architecture, or design of PBV <br />housing. Any such additional requirements must be specified in the Agreement to enter into a <br />HAP contract and the HAP contract. These requirements must be in addition to, not in place of, <br />compliance with HQS. <br />SARA will identify the need for any special features on acase-by-case basis depending on the <br />intended occupancy of the PBV project. SARA will specify any special design standards or <br />additional requirements in the invitation for PBV proposals, the agreement to enter into HAP <br />contract, and the HAP contract. <br />Vacancy Payments [24 CFR 983.352(b)] <br />At the discretion of SARA, the HAP contract may provide for vacancy payments to the owner <br />for a SARA-determined period of vacancy extending from the beginning of the first calendar <br />month after the move-out month for a period not exceeding two full months following the move- <br />outmonth. The amount of the vacancy payment will be determined by SARA and cannot exceed <br />the monthly rent to owner under the assisted lease. <br />SARA will decide on a case-by-case basis to provide vacancy payments to the owner. The HAP <br />contract with the owner will contain any such agreement, including the amount of the vacancy <br />payment and the period for which the owner will qualify for these payments. <br />o~ro2~i2 Page 17-17 <br />
