Domestic Violence in Residential Tenancies

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so it's only fitting that we do our part by educating our members on what to do when DV situations arise at their communities.

In many states, Domestic Violence victims have specific protection from being evicted as a result of the DV incident, but even more importantly, HUD has recognized that Domestic Violence victims can be protected under the Fair Housing Act, as well.

Let our attorneys bring you up to speed on the laws in your State that related to tenants who are DV victims; Fair Housing Act implications for common DV situations; and how the provisions of your Lease may also impact your ability to file and/or evict a tenant in a DV situation.
