What happens if the tenants unit fails an inspection?
If the tenants unit fails a recertification inspection, a copy of the inspection will be sent to the landlord and the client highlighting the issues that need to be addressed. The landlord will also receive a letter from the agency advising that the inspector will return for a follow up inspection within 30 days of the failed inspection. If the unit fails a second inspection, the property will go into abatement and the landlord will forfeit the City of Miamis rental assistance. The client may also be required to move out of the unit. Landlords can request an extension to fix the unit after the first failed inspection. The request must be submitted in writing to the addressed provided in the inspection form.
