Non-Occupancy

A displaced person, who has entered into a contract for the construction or rehabilitation of a replacement dwelling and, for reasons beyond his/her reasonable control, cannot occupy the replacement dwelling within the one-year period prescribed in is considered to have purchased and occupied the dwelling as of the contract date. Replacement housing payments under these conditions will be deferred until
actual
occupancy is accomplished and an inspection has been performed establishing the dwelling as DSS. Document the reason for the delay in the parcel file.
