Change In Ownership
A change in ownership does not require the immediate execution
of a new contract; however, the current owner must request
in writing approval for the new owner to assume the HAP
Contract from Charleston Housing and provide documentation
about the new owner prior to the sale. CH must receive:
1. A written request by the old owner in order to change
HAP payee and/or the address to which payment is to be
sent.
2. The name, address and telephone number of the proposed
new owner.
3. The date by which the transfer of property is to be
final.
Charleston Housing will process the Assumption of Contract
only after the proposed new owner has qualified. A new
contract will be executed at the time of the next scheduled
recertification for the tenant.
CH will process a change of ownership only upon the written
request of the new owner and only if accompanied by a copy
of the escrow statement or other document showing the transfer
of title and the Employee Identification Number or Social
Security number of the new owner.
Change of Address
Charleston Housing will process a change of address for
a landlord upon receipt of a written request and an updated
W-9 Tax Identification Form. The request and completed
form should be sent to the Senior Housing Specialist. A
temporary change of address should also be submitted in
writing to the Senior Housing Specialist.
