Uncollected Rent Continues To Reduce

Revenue For The District Of Columbia



Each year the District of Columbia loses
millions of dollars in revenue because it
fails to effectively collect rent from public
housing and urban renewal tenants--a prob-
lem GAO previously identified in 1979. Dis-
trict data showed that delinquent rents for
both programs amounted to $4.2 million
during fiscal year 1981, with $2 million
considered uncollectible. The reduced rent
collections can be traced to the District's
inadequate records on rent delinquencies
and to its failure to collect when rent delin-
quency is established.

The less rental income, the more District
funds must be used to pay for public hous-
ing and urban renewal programs. GAO
recommends a number of steps the Mayor
should take to better identify delinquent
rent cases and improve collection actions.
