     4  housing  authority mails notice of a pre-termination meeting to a house-
     5  hold having an authorized occupant over the age of sixty-two years, such
     6  authority shall include with such notice a notification that the  tenant
     7  lessee  has the opportunity to meet with the property manager, or his or
     8  her designee, to discuss  the  possible  termination  of  tenancy.  Such
     9  notice shall be mailed to such households by certified mail.

    17  city housing authority may give not less than fifteen days notice before
    18  the date fixed for a termination of tenancy  hearing  before  a  hearing
