Q: I manage rental properties that participate in HUD programs. A tenant claims her boyfriend is abusing her and asked me to transfer her to a different unit at one of our other properties. I know that under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), federally assisted properties like mine are required to allow victims of domestic violence to transfer to another available unit on an emergency basis. But I have only the tenant’s word that she has been abused. What kind of proof am I allowed to request before I take action?
