In addition, Wilhite’s contention that the termination-of-benefits notice was insufficient because it did not list past lease violations is flawed for two reasons. First, the HRA is not required to give a detailed explanation of all the reasons for the termination; the notice must contain only a brief explanation for the termination and effectively communicate the interest at stake. This requirement is met without mention of the past lease violations. Second, the HRA’s decision to terminate Wil-hite’s Section 8 benefits was not based on her past lease violations. Horner testified at the informal hearing that the information regarding past lease violations was “just more for reference,” and the HRA would not have taken action to terminate Wilhite’s Section 8 benefits had she simply vacated the premises at the expiration of the lease. 2
