Dear HCVP Housing Partners,

The dual trainings entitled "Understanding the HAP Contract" and "VAWA" will cover the following:

• Special considerations of being a Landlord in the District of Columbia

• Several factors critical to your success as a DC Landlord/Owner

• HAP responsibilities (Landlord & DCHA)

• The three agreements that are in play when a landlord signs up with our program and receives a monthly payment for our client(s) (legal relationships)

• What happens when the tenant (DCHA client) violates the lease terms?

• How to properly terminate a tenancy

• Which termination trumps the other? HAP contract termination, subsidy (voucher), or the lease?

• What can cause DCHA to stop HAP payments to a Landlord/Owner?

• What are emergency transfer and VAWA requests? How do they affect the HAP contract & lease?

• What happens if DCHA pays their portion of the rent but the tenant doesn’t?

• What happens if DCHA believes that the tenant has violated program rules?

• What does VAWA stand for?

• How does a VAWA claim affect my lease with the tenant & HAP contract with DCHA?

• Are there any special actions I need to take in order to handle a VAWA claim?

Space is limited so register soon. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

We encourage you to continue to check the portal for scheduling and other updates. We look forward to our continued partnership!
