摘要

The report is a study of USDA-Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) Tenant Grievance and Appeals Procedure, a regulation implemented by FmHA in September 1979 in response to legislative mandate and pending lawsuits. The paper researches the evolution of the procedure, including evolution of due process rights for tenants in government-subsidized rental housing and explores the merits of administrative regulations. The study shows results of survey conducted to determine if and how well the regulation is being implemented and the nature of the cases grieved and appealed and estimates of costs of implementation.
