(2)Has taken and continues to take all feasible actions to fill the vacancy; and
(3)Has not rejected any eligible applicant except for good cause acceptable to HUD.
(c)Vacancies after rent-up. If an eligible household vacates an assisted unit (or residential space in a group home) the Owner is entitled to vacancy payments in the amount of 50 percent of the approved per unit operating cost (or pro rata share of the group home operating cost) for the first 60 days of vacancy if the Owner:

If the Owner collects payments for vacancies from other sources (tenant rent, security deposits, payments under § 891.435(c), or governmental payments under other programs), the Owner shall not be entitled to collect vacancy payments to the extent these collections from other sources plus the vacancy payment exceed the approved per unit operating cost. \[61 FR 11956, Mar. 22, 1996, as amended at 88 FR 9669, Feb. 14, 2023\]
