Have you been financially taken advantage of by HUD’s practice of requiring the owners of Section 8 properties to pay for operations and maintenance from your own private funds? So have we. But we have proven in Federal Court that this practice is illegal! Let us help you recoup your losses and stand up for your rights.


FACTS:

  • HUD has attempted to unilaterally change its obligations to Section 8 Owners
  • HUD has sought to shift its financial obligations to Section 8 property owners.
  • HUD’s attempts have been proven to be illegal by a Federal Court.
  • The Administrative Process may sometimes provide adequate relief.
  • In some cases, a property owner will need individual judicial relief.
  • In other cases, individual property owners cannot practically obtain judicial relief because of the costs, delays and uncertainties of litigation.

WE CAN HELP!

Owners may be entitled to compensation if:

  • HUD failed to provide an adequate rent schedule to operate and maintain a property
  • HUD allowed the owner’s equity to be taken
  • HUD imposed unlawful financial obligations on owners
  • Owners have lost property or income
  • Owners have suffered adverse tax consequences

Favorable District and Appellant Court decisions that have resulted from recent Court actions we have been involved in:

  • 2002—J. Stephen Nail and INTERVEST vs. Mel Martinez and HUD: “HUD has debarred Plaintiffs herein for their failure to invest private funds to maintain the Eastover and Metro Manor properties. Therefore, the Court finds that the decision by HUD to debar Plaintiffs was arbitrary and capricious, and not in accordance with the law. . .The Debarring Official’s Determination is set aside. This cause is hereby dismissed with prejudice. HUD. . .chose an unsound legal theory on which to proceed.” United States District Court Judge William H. Barbour
  • 1999—Christopher Village, L.P. vs. Nicholas Retsinas and HUD: “Nothing in the National Housing Act, HUD’s regulations, the Regulatory Agreement or the HAP Contract requires Village, as a low income property owner, to absorb or subsidize operating and maintenance deficiencies. Instead, the programs are designed to ensure that HUD establishes rental rates so that property owners receive enough revenue to cover all of the property’s expenses including maintenance, repairs, debt service, taxes, and a six percent return on investment.” United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
