Which of the following could cause a tenant to lose their Tenant-Based Section 8 assistance?

Losing Tenant-Based Section 8 assistance can occur when a tenant owes rent or amounts to the Housing Authority. This is because the Section 8 program relies on tenants fulfilling their rental obligations; being in debt to the Housing Authority signals non-compliance with program requirements. Rent arrears can lead to eviction proceedings or termination of assistance, as tenants must demonstrate financial responsibility and adhere to the terms of their assistance agreements.

Other choices may not directly lead to loss of assistance. For example, failing to renew a lease can complicate a tenancy but might not inherently cause termination of assistance unless it leads to a violation of other program rules. Moving to a new apartment without an approved voucher indicates a misstep in following proper procedures, but again, it doesn't automatically lead to the loss of assistance unless it violates program terms. Not reporting changes in personal circumstances could potentially lead to reevaluation of assistance but would likely result in warnings or adjustments before outright termination of benefits. Understanding the specific obligations tied to the assistance can aid tenants in maintaining their benefits.
