In connection with any serious breach of leasing condition proven by detailed investigation, or, when it is considered necessary to recover the public housing flat during enforcement of management policies, a Notice-to-quit will be issued by respective District Senior Housing Manager to require concerned tenant to vacant his/her flat. The Notice-to-quit will be attached to a covering letter stating the reasons for terminating the tenancy and the tenant's right of appeal within the period specified.
Under Section 20(1) of the Housing Ordinance, a tenant has a right of appeal against termination of his/her tenancy but he/she must lodge the appeal to the Appeal Panel (Housing) not later than 15 days from the service of the Notice-to-quit. If the tenant is unable to lodge the appeal personally because of ill-health, absence from Hong Kong, etc., the chairman of Appeal Panel (Housing) may permit an authorized person in the tenancy agreement to lodge appeal on behalf of the tenant.
