A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO CLARIFY THAT THERE IS NOT A SEPARATE REQUIREMENT OF FAULT FOR PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY LEASE TERMINATION BEYOND WHAT IS ALREADY STATED IN LAW AND REGULATIONS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 157-29(c) reads as rewritten:
"(c)	An authority may terminate or refuse to renew a rental agreement for a serious or repeated violation of a material term of the rental agreement such as (i) failure to make payments due under the rental agreement, if such payments were properly and promptly calculated according to the rental agreement and any federal law or regulation applicable to the authority, whether or not such failure was the fault of the tenant, (ii) failure to fulfill the tenant obligations under the rental agreement that are expressly required or permitted by federal law or regulation applicable to the authority (including the obligations specified in 24 C.F.R. Section 966.4(f), without regard to fault on the part of the tenant beyond that required under applicable federal law or regulation, or (iii) other good cause.  Except in the case of failure to make payments due under a rental agreement, fault on the part of a tenant may be considered in determining whether good cause exists to terminate a rental agreement."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1994.
