While the statute does not set forth the role of PHAs or courts in reviewing lease violations, the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations do.[8] Under HUD regulations, PHAs retain the discretion to craft eviction policies that protect other PHA *703 tenants and the larger community while allowing for consideration of individual circumstances. In deciding whether to evict for criminal activities, "the PHA shall have discretion to consider all of the circumstances of the case, including the seriousness of the offense, the extent of participation by family members, and the effects that the eviction would have on family members not involved in the proscribed activity. In appropriate cases, the PHA may permit continued occupancy by remaining family members * * *."[9]
