While the Committee Report references the eviction court's "wise exercise of humane judgment," the federal statute, HUD regulations, and Lor's lease do not imbue the courts with the discretion to consider all the circumstances of a case.[15] In contrast to the Committee Report's vague language, HUD regulations clearly grant PHAs the discretion either to evict tenants whose household members engage in criminal activities or to permit continued occupancy by remaining family members. Further, HUD regulations list external circumstances that PHAs, not courts, should consider when deciding whether to evict a tenant.
