It is unnecessary for us to pursue that question further, however. Scarborough occupied her rental unit under HUD’s Mod Rehab rent-assistance program. Her lease provision permitting eviction for criminal activity on the premises was required to be included in the lease by federal law. The Landlord argues that, even if D.C. law otherwise afforded her an opportunity to correct the unlawful possession of a loaded shotgun, enforcing that requirement would frustrate the objectives of the federal program, and so must yield under principles of federal pre-emption — thus permitting her eviction on proper notice and the finding of the lease violation by the court. We agree with that position. III.
