A farm labor tenant becomes ineligible the moment any occupancy condition fails, and is handled under 3560.158

rd514_516.over_income.ineligibility_arises_the_moment_any_condition_fails · v1.0.0

A tenant of off-farm labor housing who at any time fails to meet ALL of the requirements of 7 CFR 3560.576(b) - the occupational requirement, the income requirement including the substantial portion of income test, and continuing compliance with the borrower's occupancy policy - is deemed ineligible for occupancy. Ineligible tenants are then handled under 7 CFR 3560.158, which requires the household to vacate within 30 days of notice or at lease expiration, whichever is greater, unless the Agency approves a temporary continuation. Separately, a tenant qualifying as a domestic farm laborer who resides in a property with a NON-RESTRICTIVE farm labor clause in the mortgage covenants must not have adjusted income exceeding the moderate-income limit for the household size and geographic area.
