Moving

You may move to a new unit with continued assistance in any of the following circumstances:

The lease gives the family the right to terminate the lease on notice to the owner, and the family has given a notice of termination to the owner in accordance with the lease. If the family does terminate the lease on notice to the owner, the family must give HASB a copy of the notice at the same time.
The family has complied with all other obligations of the HCV Program and has moved out of the assisted dwelling unit in order to protect the health or safety of an individual who is or has been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking and who reasonably believed he or she was imminently threatened by harm from further violence if he or she remained in the assisted dwelling unit.
The lease for the family's unit has been terminated by mutual agreement of the owner and the family. If the family and the owner mutually agree to terminate the lease for the family's unit, the family must give the HASB a copy of the termination agreement.
The owner has given the family a notice to vacate, has commenced an action to evict the family, or has obtained a court judgment or other process allowing the owner to evict the family. The family must give HASB a copy of any owner eviction notice.
HASB has terminated the assisted lease for the family's unit for the owner's breach.
HASB determines that the family's current unit does not meet the Housing Quality Standards space standards because of an increase in family size or a change in family composition. In such cases, HASB will issue the family a new voucher, and the family must find an acceptable unit.

If you wish to move to a new unit, you must notify HASB and the owner before moving out of the old unit or terminating the lease on notice to the owner.

You must notify HASB of your intent to move by completing the Transfer Request form and returning it to your Housing Choice Voucher Specialist. Your Specialist will review your Request to Transfer and approve or disapprove of your elective move.

Q: When do I give notice that I plan to move out?
A: Notice must be received by HASB no less than 30 days before the end of the month you want to vacate (example: if you want to move 9/30, give written notice by 9/1 stating you are moving out 9/30).

Q: Do you help with security deposits when I move?
A: No, we do not, but you may want to call 2-1-1 to see if there are community resources that can assist you

Q: I am experiencing domestic violence and need to make a change to my housing. What do I do?
A: Please contact your Housing Specialist to discuss your moving options. You will be asked to provide documentation of your situation.
