Questions and Discussion

1. What if a tenant gives rent to a landlord late, and then the landlord evicts?

2. In the case of foreclosure, is a new owner responsible for the original security deposit?

3. Can a landlord demand that a tenant throw out their furniture if their unit has bed bugs?

4. Can a HCV be used in Project Base Section 8 housing?

5. If a MHA didn’t go through a grievance procedure before an eviction, can anything be done after the fact?

6. Is substance abuse considered a disability?
