Question: If a resident of Section 202/8 housing marries a 40 something year old, what happens if the existing resident dies before her spouse becomes age 62? Is the under age 62 person required to move out? ~ Linda in DE
Answer: Section 3-16 of the 4350.3 addresses this issue. If the property is a 202 PRAC or a 202/8, the spouse (regardless of age) stays in the unit and pays rent based on income, following normal 50059 procedures, as long as s/he was properly added to the lease, is of legal contract age, and was living with the resident at the time of death. The spouse is not required to move out.
