There are several reasons why your Public Housing lease may be terminated.  

The family may terminate the lease at any time, for any reason, by submitting a written thirty-day notice signed by the Head of Household in person or by mail.

    • Manufacturing or production of methamphetamine on the premises of federally assisted housing
    • Member of the household is lifetime registered sex offender
    • Failure to comply with the community service requirement
