While PHAs are required to provide a grievance procedure for most tenant disputes, the regulations provide that tenants evicted because their household members have allegedly engaged in criminal activities may be excluded from PHA administrative grievance procedures.10 Tenants excluded from the grievance procedures retain the right to a court hearing that contains the basic elements of due process as defined by HUD.11 Required elements of due process in the court hearing are: (1) adequate notice to the tenant; (2) the tenant’s right to be represented by counsel; (3) an opportunity for the tenant to refute PHA’s evidence including the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses and the right to raise affirmative legal or equitable defenses; and (4) a decision on the merits.12
