NYCHA Nonrenewal of Tenant's Section 8 Voucher Upheld
LVT Number: #23636
Tenant appealed NYCHA's decision to terminate her Section 8 benefits. She claimed that NYCHA's decision was irrational and unexplained. The court ruled against tenant. NYCHA canceled tenant's Section 8 voucher after sending her a letter explaining that she had failed to submit a timely rental package and that her apartment had failed NYCHA inspection.
