Q
Regarding Live in aides, I know when resident moves out, the LIA goes as well, but I recall hearing that if the resident goes for extended amount of time(less than the 30 days)the LIA must go as well. I'm not seeing that written anywhere in the 4350 book. Can someone point me in the right direction please? Thank You
A

Per HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV 1. Chg 3, 3-6 E. 3 (c), The live in aid "Qualifies for occupancy only as long as the individual needing supportive services requires the aide’s services and remains a tenant. The live-in
aide may not qualify for continued occupancy as a remaining family member.Owners are encouraged
to use a HUD-approved lease addendum that denies occupancy of the unit to a live-in aide after
the tenant, for whatever reason, is no longer living in the unit. (See paragraph 6-5.A.4.g for more
information.) The lease addendum should also give the owner the right to evict a live-in aide who
violates any of the house rules."
