Cessation of eligibility — failure to divest residential property
 32. (1) A household that is receiving rent-geared-to-income assistance ceases to be eligible for such assistance unless each member of the household who has a legal or beneficial interest in a freehold or leasehold estate in residential property located in or outside Ontario that is suitable for year-round occupancy divests himself or herself of his or her interest in the property and gives written verification of the divestment to the service manager.  O. Reg. 367/11, s. 32 (1). (2) The divestment must occur and the verification of the divestment must be given, (a) within 180 days after the first day of the month for which the household begins to receive rent-geared-to-income assistance, if the member has the interest in the property at the time the household begins to receive rent-geared-to-income assistance; or (b) within 180 days after the first day of the month in which the member acquires the interest in the property, if the member acquires the interest in the property after the household begins to receive rent-geared-to-income assistance.  O. Reg. 367/11, s. 32 (2). (3) The service manager may extend the time for the divestment and verification of the divestment for such period of time as the service manager considers appropriate, if the service manager is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to do so.  O. Reg. 367/11, s. 32 (3). (4) The service manager shall extend the time for the divestment and verification of the divestment for such period of time as the service manager considers appropriate, if the following requirements are met: 1. The household was included in the special priority household category following a request for inclusion relating to the abuse, other than trafficking, of a member of the household. 2. The household was included in the special priority household category at the time the household began to receive rent-geared-to-income assistance. 3. The interest in the property is held jointly by a member of the household and the abusing individual. 4. The member notifies the service manager that he or she believes that the divestment or the taking of steps to effect the divestment would place the member or any other member of the household at risk of abuse.
