Enforcement actions which might be taken include cancellation of existing lease contracts, mandatory relocation of an activity out of space currently occupied, filing of suits against lessors and other unpleasant actions of a similar nature. It is the responsibility of the ADC and the administrator responsible for use of the leased space to ensure that all contract specifications are adhered to by the lessor, especially those regarding accessibility. The responsible administrator shall notify the ADC as soon as possible if any leased space does not meet contract standards. Leases which are longer than a one year term must be encumbered at the beginning of each fiscal year. A purchase order should be submitted annually for the purpose of encumbering the lease.
State law prohibits payments for any unoccupied space.
If it is anticipated that any currently leased space will be unoccupied for more than 30 days, the ADC should be notified. The Assistant Director of Contracting will contact the lessor for possible renegotiation of lease payments.
