# §982.403. Terminating HAP contract when unit is too small.

- (a) **Violation of HQS space standards.**
  - (1) If the PHA determines that a unit does not meet the HQS space standards because of an increase in family size or a change in family composition, the PHA must issue the family a new voucher, and the family and PHA must try to find an acceptable unit as soon as possible.
  - (2) If an acceptable unit is available for rental by the family, the PHA must terminate the HAP contract in accordance with its terms.
- (b) **Termination.** When the PHA terminates the HAP contract under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section:
  - (1) The PHA must notify the family and the owner of the termination; and
  - (2) The HAP contract terminates at the end of the calendar month that follows the calendar month in which the PHA gives such notice to the owner.
  - (3) The family may move to a new unit in accordance with [§ 982.354](/cfr/24/982.354.md).
