I suspect this would be the company’s preferred path rather than merely adjusting company policies. By using this option the company can tidy up a wish list of outstanding issues.
Some home owners and all boat owners have their payment in regards to Housing and Rental Assistance fixed, irrespective of the latest changes to ARAPA or ARAP. Can a change of company policy affect this agreement between individuals and the company? Certainly the company can try and certainly the affected individuals will seek redress through the courts.
It’s not all that hard to find lawyers who will argue anything including disagreeing with NC’s “100% wrong” assertion. When it comes to the courts no lawyer will give any client a 100% guarantee of a particular finding.
So a court case is inevitable whether the company chooses to significantly alter the housing allowance or if it chooses to re-write everyone’s contracts.
I suspect they’d rather go to court having taken a giant bite rather than a tasting lick.
