public housing agency or owner or manager of housing
assisted under a covered housing program to evict or

lease not premised on the act of violence in question

if the public housing agency or owner or manager does not
subject an individual who is or has been a victim of
domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking to a more
demanding standard than other tenants in determining
whether to evict or terminate;
``(iii) to limit the authority to terminate assistance
to a tenant or evict a tenant from housing assisted under a
covered housing program if a public housing agency or owner
or manager of the housing can demonstrate that an actual
and imminent threat to other tenants or individuals
employed at or providing service to the property would be
present if the assistance is not terminated or the tenant
is not evicted; or

sexual assault, or stalking.
``(6) Compliance not sufficient to constitute evidence of
unreasonable act.--Compliance with subsection (b) by a public
housing agency or owner or manager of housing assisted under a
covered housing program based on documentation received under this
subsection, shall not be sufficient to constitute evidence of an
unreasonable act or omission by the public housing agency or owner

limit the liability of a public housing agency or owner or manager
of housing assisted under a covered housing program for failure to
comply with subsection (b).

housing agency or owner or manager of housing assisted under a
covered housing program receives documentation under this
