Can I Switch From NYCHA To Section 8?
In order to be considered eligible to receive a Section 8 transfer voucher you must be a tenant in good standing with both NYCHA and your current landlord (ex. you cannot be facing termination of your tenancy for failure to recertify or allow inspection, and you must be current in paying your portion of rent).
2) ENDING A TENANCY: The sole Tenant or both Co-Tenants may end the tenancy and leave the apartment, by signing a Notice of Intent to Vacate, giving NYCHA 30 days notice.
