Court Upholds PHA's Zero Tolerance Policy in Terminating Tenant's Lease Because of Son's Arrest

摘要

The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed the termination of a public housing tenant's lease because of the arrest of her son for armed robbery, upholding the housing authority's zero tolerance policy.rnErica Bishop and her 10 children were the named residents on her public housing lease with the Housing Authority of South Bend (HASB). Her lease included the standard provisions that the persons listed in the lease were the only persons permitted to live in her unit and that the HASB did not tolerate any criminal activity by named residents.
