Termination Justified by Failure to Pay Rent on Time, Allow Access for Repairs, Provide Family Information

摘要

A Section 8 tenant's failure to pay rent on time, allow his landlord to enter his premises to make repairs, and provide accurate information to the housing authority regarding his family composition justified his termination from the program, ruled the California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, Division 1. (Gandy v. Housing Authority of the County of San Diego, No. D053616, 2009 WL 1154281 (Cal. App. 4 Dist), April 29, 2009)rnThe Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HA) sought to terminate the participation of Jams Gandy in the Section 8 program because he refused to allow the landlord to enter his apartment to make repairs, he violated his lease by failing to pay rent, and he lied when he stated that his two minor children lived with him.rnThe hearing officer and the trial court sustained the HA's termination decision and Gandy, representing himself, appealed the trial court's decision.
