Congress authorized a tenant’s eviction from public housing when that “tenant, any member of the tenant’s household, or any guest or other person under the tenant’s control” engages in “any drug-related criminal activity, on or off such premises.” The question here presented is whether this language permits local PHAs to evict tenants who were ignorant of their household members’ or guests’ drug use (“ignorant tenants”). The answer to this question should be that it does permit such evictions.
