Termination of Tenancy or Assistance. The VAWA prohibits PHAs from considering actual or threatened domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assult as a cause for terminating the tenancy, occupancy or program assistance of the victim. This means that PHAs may not construe such violence or stalking (1) as a serious or repeated violationof the lease by the victim, (2) as other good cause for terminating the tenancy, occupancy rights, or program assistance of the victim.
The protection against termination that VAWA puts in place for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking and sexual assault are not absolute. A PHA retains the authority to terminate the tenancy, occupancy rights, or program assistance of a victim under either of the following conditions:
Denial of Assistance: We screen applicants on the basis of thier family behavior or suitability for tenancy, so we have put safeguards in place to ensure that we comply with this section of VAWA. However, VAWA also expressly permits PHAs to request that victims attest to their status by signing a HUD-approved certification form. VAWA specifies that the form must meet certain standards:
VAWA also specifies that a victim who is asked to prvide certification may satisfy the requirement by submitting instead one of two alternative types of documentation:
If a victim fails to provide the certification or acceptable alternative documentation within the time allotted by a PHA, the victim is no longer entilted to special protection from eviction or termination provided by the VAWA.
Confidentiality. Any information or documentation that a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault provides to PHA, including that fact that she or he is a victim of abuse, must be kept in confidence.
