The Connecticut Superior Court denied a defendant Section 8 housing voucher tenant's motion to dismiss a notice to quit premises in NHCD 4 LLC v. Clark, (Not Reported in Atl. Rptr.), 2022 WL 14455884, DOCKET NO. NHH-CV-22-6017275-S (Ct. Sup. Ct. Oct. 21 2022), but stated in that decision that HUD Section 8 regulations require the plaintiff landlord to provide the defendant tenant with a notice of her rights under the Violence Against Women Act. NHCD 4 LLC, brought this fourth action against Stacey Clark to quit the Section 8 housing choice voucher premises she occupied with Jane Doe on Norton Street in New Haven, on September 19, 2022. A notice to quit was provided to Clark by Plaintiff on July 11, 2022 to quit the premises on or before August 31, 2022, for failure to pay the April 2022 rent, and for her decertification from the Section 8 program in May 2022. The final payment to her account was HUD's Section 8 housing portion payment of $1,060 on April 6, 2022. The eviction was also based on the fact that Jane Doe was not named on the lease as a legal occupant. The prior three cases had all been resolved in favor of Defendant. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss alleging that Plaintiff failed to comply with HUD regulations requiring that Section 8 housing providers provide Notice of Occupancy Rights under the Violence Against Women Act "VAWA") (42 U.S.C.A. § 14043e-ll) to all subsidized tenants when their occupancies are terminated.
