The tenants contend that the written order clause cannot in fact serve the purpose urged by HUD, because only an agency that already has acquired property is empowered to “order” persons to move from the property. This argument attributes too much significance to the word “order.” As shown by the passage quoted in text, the Committee generally referred to a “notice to vacate.” The Committee’s description of the clause, as well as its origin, demonstrates that a “written order” indicates any official notice to vacate, whether issued before or after the acquisition is completed.
