stalking against an affiliated individual or other
individual, without evicting, removing,
terminating assistance to, or otherwise penalizing
a victim of such criminal activity who is also a
tenant or lawful occupant of the housing.

If public housing agency or owner or manager of
housing assisted under a covered housing program
evicts, removes, or terminates assistance to an

the sole tenant eligible to receive assistance
under a covered housing program, the public
housing agency or owner or manager of housing
assisted under the covered housing program shall

subparagraph (A) shall be construed--
``(i) to limit the authority of a public
housing agency or owner or manager of housing
assisted under a covered housing program, when

control of property, including civil
protection orders issued to protect a

manager of housing assisted under a covered
housing program to evict or terminate assistance

premised on the act of violence in question
against the tenant or an affiliated person of the
tenant, 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
``(iv) to supersede any provision of any
Federal, State, or local law that provides greater
protection than this section for victims of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking.

ground for protection under subsection (b) meets
the requirements under subsection (b);

public housing agency or owner or manager under this subsection,
including the fact that an individual is a victim of domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking shall be
maintained in confidence by the public housing agency or owner

writing;
``(B) required for use in an eviction proceeding
under subsection (b); or

or owner or manager of housing assisted under a covered housing
program to request that an individual submit documentation of
the status of the individual as a victim of domestic violence,
dating violence, 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 or manager or an employee or agent of the public
housing agency or owner or manager. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to 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).
``(7) Response to conflicting certification.--If a public
housing agency or owner or manager of housing assisted under a
covered housing program receives documentation under this
subsection that contains conflicting information, the public
housing agency or owner or manager may require an applicant or
tenant to submit third-party documentation, as described in
subparagraph (B), (C), or (D) of paragraph (3).

housing agencies and owners or managers of housing assisted under
covered housing programs that--
