If you live in public housing or have a housing voucher, you have all the rights other tenants have and more. If a Housing Authority (HA) seeks to evict you, it needs to have a good reason. The Housing Authority must prove you committed a serious violation of the lease. Or the HA must prove you committed repeated minor violations of the lease. Or the HA must have other ‘good cause.’ You may be evicted from public housing for criminal activity that threatens the health, safety, or peaceful enjoyment by other tenants. In addition, you may be evicted for drug-related activity at or away from your rental unit. The drug activity can be committed either by you, someone in your household, your guest or someone else in your control.
