NOTICE OF OCCUPANCY RIGHTS UNDER U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT OMB Approval No. 2577-0286
Expires 06/30/2017
MPLP East Side LLC
Notice of Occupancy Rights under the Violence Against Women Act!
To all Tenants and Applicants
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides protections for victims of domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. VAWA protections are not only available to women,
but are available equally to all individuals regardless of sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is the Federal agency that
oversees that MPLP East Side LLC is in compliance with VAWA. This notice explains your rights
under VAWA. A HUD-approved certification form is attached to this notice. You can fill out this
form to show that you are or have been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking, and that you wish to use your rights under VAWA."
Protections for Applicants
If you otherwise qualify for assistance under the programs at MPLP East Side LLC, you cannot be
denied admission or denied assistance because you are or have been a victim of domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
Protections for Tenants
If you are receiving assistance under the programs at MPLP East Side LLC, you may not be denied
assistance, terminated from participation, or be evicted from your rental housing because you are
or have been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
Also, if you or an affiliated individual of yours is or has been the victim of domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking by a member of your household or any guest, you may
not be denied rental assistance or occupancy rights under the programs at MPLP East Side LLC,
solely on the basis of criminal activity directly relating to that domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, or stalking.
Affiliated individual means your spouse, parent, brother, sister, or child, or a person to whom you
stand in the place of a parent or guardian (for example, the affiliated individual is in your care,
custody, or control); or any individual, tenant, or lawful occupant living in your household.
Removing the Abuser or Perpetrator from the Household
MPLP East Side LLC may divide (bifurcate) your lease in order to evict the individual or terminate
the assistance of the individual who has engaged in criminal activity (the abuser or perpetrator)
directly relating to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
' Despite the name of this law, VAWA protection is ay ilable regardless of sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
? Housing providers cannot discriminate on the basis of any protected characterist including race, color, national
origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability, or age. HUD-assisted and HUD-insured housing must be made
available to all otherwise eligible individuals regardless of actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or
marital status.

If MPLP East Side LLC chooses to remove the abuser or perpetrator, MPLP East Side LLC 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, MPLP East Side LLC 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, MPLP East Side LLC must follow
Federal, State, and local eviction procedures. In order to divide a lease, MPLP East Side LLC
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, MPLP East Side LLC 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, MPLP East
Side LLC may ask you to provide documentation that you are requesting to move because of an
incidence of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. If the request is a
request for emergency transfer, the housing provider may ask you to submit a written request or
fill out a form where you certify that you meet the criteria for an emergency transfer under VAWA.
The criteria are:
(1) 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.
OR
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

you are seeking your transfer, and that assault happened within the 90-calendar-day
period before you expressly request the transfer.
MPLP East Side LLC will keep confidential requests for emergency transfers by victims of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, and the location of any move by
such victims and their families.
If you need information on an emergency transfer plan, please contact management at Vista View
Townhomes II.
Documenting You Are or Have Been a Victim of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual
Assault or Stalking
MPLP East Side LLC can, but is not required to, ask you to provide documentation to "certify"
that you are or have been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
Such request from MPLP East Side LLC must be in writing, and MPLP East Side LLC must give
you at least 14 business days (Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal holidays do not count) from the
day you receive the request to provide the documentation. MPLP East Side LLC may, but does
not have to, extend the deadline for the submission of documentation upon your request.
You can provide one of the following to MPLP East Side LLC as documentation. It is your choice
which of the following to submit if MPLP East Side LLC asks you to provide documentation that
you are or have been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
e A complete HUD-approved certification form given to you by MPLP East Side LLC with
this notice, that documents an incident of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking. The form will ask for your name, the date, time, and location of the
incident of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, and a description
of the incident. The certification form provides for including the name of the abuser or
perpetrator if the name of the abuser or perpetrator is known and is safe to provide.
A record of a Federal, State, tribal, territorial, or local law enforcement agency, court, or
administrative agency that documents the incident of domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, or stalking. Examples of such records include police reports, protective
orders, and restraining orders, among others.
A statement, which you must sign, along with the signature of an employee, agent, or
volunteer of a victim service provider, an attorney, a medical professional or a mental
health professional (collectively, "professional") from whom you sought assistance in
addressing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, or the effects of
abuse, and with the professional selected by you attesting under penalty of perjury that he
or she believes that the incident or incidents of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking are grounds for protection.
Any other statement or evidence that MPLP East Side LLC has agreed to accept.

If you fail or refuse to provide one of these documents within the 14 business days, MPLP East
Side LLC does not have to provide you with the protections contained in this notice.
If MPLP East Side LLC receives conflicting evidence that an incident of domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, or stalking has been committed (such as certification forms from two or
more members of a household each claiming to be a victim and naming one or more of the other
petitioning household members as the abuser or perpetrator), MPLP East Side LLC has the right
to request that you provide third-party documentation within thirty 30 calendar days in order to
resolve the conflict. If you fail or refuse to provide third-party documentation where there is
conflicting evidence, MPLP East Side LLC does not have to provide you with the protections
contained in this notice.
Confidentiality
MPLP East Side LLC must keep confidential any information you provide related to the exercise
of your rights under VAWA, including the fact that you are exercising your rights under VAWA.
MPLP East Side LLC must not allow any individual administering assistance or other services on
behalf of Vista View Townhomes II (for example, employees and contractors) to have access to
confidential information unless for reasons that specifically call for these individuals to have
access to this information under applicable Federal, State, or local law.
MPLP East Side LLC must not enter your information into any shared database or disclose your
information to any other entity or individual. MPLP East Side LLC, however, may disclose the
information provided if:
e You give written permission to MPLP East Side LLC to release the information on a time
limited basis.
MPLP East Side LLC needs to use the information in an eviction or termination
proceeding, such as to evict your abuser or perpetrator or terminate your abuser or
perpetrator from assistance under this program.
A law requires MPLP East Side LLC or your landlord to release the information.
VAWA does not limit MPLP East Side LLC duty to honor court orders about access to or control
of the property. This includes orders issued to protect a victim and orders dividing property among
household members in cases where a family breaks up.
Reasons a Tenant Eligible for Occupancy Rights under VAWA May Be Evicted or Assistance
May Be Terminated
You can be evicted and your assistance can be terminated for serious or repeated lease violations
that are not related to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking committed
against you. However, MPLP East Side LLC cannot hold tenants who have been victims of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking to a more demanding set of rules
than it applies to tenants who have not been victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking.

The protections described in this notice might not apply, and you could be evicted and your
assistance terminated, if MPLP East Side LLC can demonstrate that not evicting you or terminating
your assistance would present a real physical danger that:
1) Would occur within an immediate time frame, and
2) Could result in death or serious bodily harm to other tenants or those who work on the
property.
If MPLP East Side LLC can demonstrate the above, MPLP East Side LLC should only terminate
your assistance or evict you if there are no other actions that could be taken to reduce or eliminate
the threat.
Other Laws
VAWA does not replace any Federal, State, or local law that provides greater protection for victims
of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. You may be entitled to additional
housing protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking
under other Federal laws, as well as under State and local laws.
Non-Compliance with The Requirements of This Notice
You may report a covered housing provider's violations of these rights and seek additional
assistance, if needed, by contacting or filing a complaint with the HUD Minneapolis Field Office
at (612) 370-3000.

SEXUAL ASSAULT, OR STALKING,
AND ALTERNATE DOCUMENTATION
Purpose of Form: The Violence Against Women Act ("VAWA") protects applicants, tenants, and
program participants in certain HUD programs from being evicted, denied housing assistance, or
terminated from housing assistance based on acts of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking against them. Despite the name of this law, VAWA protection is available to victims of domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, regardless of sex, gender identity, or sexual
orientation.
Use of This Optional Form: If you are seeking VAWA protections from your housing provider, your
housing provider may give you a written request that asks you to submit documentation about the incident
or incidents of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
In response to this request, you or someone on your behalf may complete this optional form and submit it
to your housing provider, or you may submit one of the following types of third-party documentation:
(1) A document signed by you and an employee, agent, or volunteer of a victim service provider, an
attorney, or medical professional, or a mental health professional (collectively, "professional") from
whom you have sought assistance relating to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking, or the effects of abuse. The document must specify, under penalty of perjury, that the
profe sional believes the incident or incidents of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking occurred and meet the definition of "domestic violence,” "dating violence," "sexual assault,” or
"stalking" in HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 5.2003.
(2) A record of a Federal, State, tribal, territorial or local law enforcement agency, court, or
administrative agency; or
(3) At the discretion of the housing provider, a statement or other evidence provided by the applicant or
tenant.
Submission of Documentation: The time period to submit documentation is 14 business days from the
date that you receive a written request from your housing provider asking that you provide documentation
of the occurrence of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Your housing
provider may, but is not required to, extend the time period to submit the documentation, if you request an
extension of the time period. If the requested information is not received within 14 business days of when
you received the request for the documentation, or any extension of the date provided by your housing
provider, your housing provider does not need to grant you any of the VAWA protections. Distribution or
issuance of this form does not serve as a written request for certification.
Confidentiality: All information provided to your housing provider concerning the incident(s) of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking shall be kept confidential and such details
shall not be entered into any shared database. Employees of your housing provider are not to have access
to these details unless to grant or deny VAWA protections to you, and such employees may not disclose
this information to any other entity or individual, except to the extent that disclosure is: (i) consented to
by you in writing in a time- mited release; (ii) required for use in an eviction proceeding or hearing
regarding termination of ince; or (iii) otherwise required by applicable law.
