How many apartment offers will an eligible tenant receive?

To facilitate safe emergency transfers, an eligible tenant is entitled to two apartment offers which can be rejected due to perceived safety reasons.


If the tenant wishes to be considered for a third apartment offer a signed statement, explaining in detail why the first two offers were not safe, must submitted.


NYCHA will evaluate the submissions and determine whether tenant qualifies for a third offer.


Of particular note, a tenant that applied as a VAWA victim can submit the signed statement independently, either on NYCHA Self-Service Portal (https://selfserve.nycha.info) or in person at the Property Management Office.

What if I need to leave my apartment for safety reasons?

If, while waiting for a transfer, a tenant must leave their apartment for safety reasons and find temporary residence elsewhere they should not hand in their keys or sign a "Notice of Intent to Vacate".

To maintain legal residency they should, instead, advise NYCHA about their temporary relocation and if any family member still resides in the apartment.


If a tenant who is a VAWA victim provides documentary proof that they have vacated for safety reasons, NYCHA will not pursue proceedings for a non-payment of rent or administrative termination-of-tenancy based on unpaid rent for the period between:

(1) the date the tenant has, both, been approved for a domestic violence transfer and submitted the supporting evidence verifying they vacated the apartment for safety reasons, and

(2) when they are selected for a new NYCHA apartment.

 Domestic violence victims may submit any documentary proof to VAWATempRelo@nycha.nyc.gov. NYCHA will not nullify the domestic violence transfer request based on any legal action taken against any household members remaining in the original apartment.
