How do you appeal public housing eviction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A PHA can evict someone under its jurisdiction in the same manner and for the same reasons any landlord can evict his tenant. If you feel that you have been wrongly evicted you can take the matter to court. In the case of a PHA you can file a complaint with HUD if you feel you have been wrongly evicted. Oftentimes an eviction can be resolved by an informal meeting. Under federal guidelines a PHA can evict you in some cases, and must evict you in certain cases. In either case it must be for a reason listed on their policy manual.

Asked by Wiki User

If by " Affordable Housing" you mean, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program (LIHTC)and by " Public Good" you mean financed by taxaition, then actually LIHTC program is not a " Public Good" Sinced it is not financed by tax payers. The owner that developes a LIHTC projects receives a reduction to his tax liability. That is what makes the LIHTC such a great program, it provides decent, safe and sanitary housing with affordable rents to those whom need it most and tax payers are not paying for it.

What is a Self contained flat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In Australia the term 'self contained' refers to the fact that it has all facilities needed to live in, bathroom, kitchen and whatnot.

Usually used when talking about a separate living space still attached or within the same yard as the main house intended for elderly relatives. Eg a granny flat can either be self contained or shared bathroom/kitchen. As they are often added after the house has been built.

I don't know if the term is exactly the same in other countries though.

Another View: The question does not disclose enough information necessary to answer it.
