The provisions of 24 CFR part 5 subpart I apply to Section 202 direct loan projects, and the provisions of 24 CFR part 247 apply to all decisions by a borrower to terminate the tenancy or modify the lease of a family residing in a unit. In actions or potential actions to terminate tenancy the owner must follow 24 CFR part 5 subpart L, the VAWA protections. Under those protections an incident of actual or threatened domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking may not be construed as a serious or repeated lease violation by the victim or as good cause for terminating the assistance, tenancy or occupancy rights of the victim.
