Synopsis
In this holdover proceeding involving a Section 8 subsidized tenant, the court dismissed the petition because landlord served expired Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Notice of Occupancy Rights forms — forms that had expired in 2017 rather than the current HUD-approved forms effective through 2028. Under 24 C.F.R. §5.2005(a), landlords receiving federal funding must provide current VAWA notice with any notification terminating tenancy in covered housing. The VAWA requirements apply regardless of the theory of eviction, including an expired-lease holdover.
