(a) The authority shall pay directly to the housing owner, or authorized representative, on behalf of a tenant, a monthly amount which is the difference between the established monthly rent for the tenant's dwelling unit and the tenant's allocable share of rent as established in section 17-2033-32; provided that the authority shall not make any monthly payments that exceed $500 on behalf of any tenant.

(c) If the tenant vacates the dwelling unit without proper notice, rent supplement payments will be continued to the time that the rental agreement could legally be terminated or to the date that the unit is re-rented, or to the last day of the month that the tenant vacated the unit and rent supplement payment was already made, whichever comes first.

(d) The maximum allowable monthly rent supplement payment may be reduced below $500 as detailed in section 17-2033-44.
