If St. Louis Park AH I LLLP chooses to remove the abuser or perpetrator. St. Louis Park AH I
LLLP may not take away the rights of eligible tenants to the unit or otherwise punish the remaining
tenants. If the evicted abuser or perpetrator was the sole tenant to have established eligibility for
assistance under the program. St. Louis Park AH l LLLP must allow the tenant who is or has been
a victim and other household members to remain in the unit for a period of time, in order to
establish eligibility under the program or under another HUD housing program covered by
VAWA, or, ﬁnd alternative housing.
In removing the abuser or perpetrator from the household. St. Louis Park AH I LLLP must follow
Federal. State. and local eviction procedures. In order to divide a lease, St. Louis Park AI-I I LLLP
may. but is not required to. ask you for documentation or certification of the incidences of domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

Moving to Another Unit

Upon your request, St. Louis Park AH I LLLP may permit you to move to another unit, subject to
the availability of other units, and still keep your assistance. In order to approve a request, St.

request is a request for emergency transfer. the housing provider may ask you to submit a written
request or till out a form where you certify that you meet the criteria for an emergency transfer
under VAWA. The criteria are:

(l) You are a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking. If your housing provider does not already have documentation that you
are a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, your
housing provider may ask you for such documentation. as described in the
documentation section below.

(2) You expressly request the emergency transfer. Your housing provider may
choose to require that you submit a form, or may accept another written or oral
request.

(3) You reasonably believe you are threatened with imminent harm from
further violence if you remain in your current unit. This means you have a
reason to fear that if you do not receive a transfer you would suffer violence in the
very near future.

0R
You are a victim of sexual assault and the assault occurred on the premises
during the 90-calendar-day period before you request a transfer. If you are a
victim of sexual assault, then in addition to qualifying for an emergency transfer
because you reasonably believe you are threatened with imminent harm from
further violence if you remain in your unit, you may qualify for an emergency
transfer if the sexual assault occurred on the premises of the property from which
