Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) & Other Protections: What to Know - Live Webinar
PRESENTER
Jennifer Owen, Attorney, Higier Allen & Lautin
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Both federal and state law provide protections to the victims of family violence. The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA) is a federal law that affords victims of domestic violence certain protections in relation to their housing, such as allowing victims of domestic violence to terminate their rental agreements and prohibiting a rental property owner or manager from refusing to rent to a person based on the person having terminated a rental agreement for that reason. VAWA applies to tax credit, and other affordable housing properties. The Texas Property Code also provides a right to terminate leases for victims of family violence, sexual assault and stalking. The proof required, and the type of length of notice given, varies depending on the basis for the termination request. This class will provide an overview of the applicable laws, and provide best practices for responding to requests from tenants based on these protections.
