wood floor in the "1st room from east"; and (3) defective entrance door lock. A certified copy of
a "Closed Violation Report" printed on May 29, 2019 indicates that the three violations were

Ms. Lora testified that Respondent returned the relocation apartment keys to the management
office on March 1, 2017 and never moved in. Respondent retained an attorney who sent Ms.
Roman an undated letter in an envelope postmarked March 17, 2017 asking that her office be
informed "as to any future actions that your office may take" against Respondent. The letter
states that the attorney was retained "in regard to various issues involving her tenancy" but does
not mention anything about relocation. The relocation apartment was rented to another family at
the end of April 2017.
Petitioner's Tenant Selection Plan for the complex, which was approved by HUD, was
admitted into evidence. Ms. Lora described it as a document that sets forth certain requirements

bedrooms. For a 2-bedroom apartment, the minimum number of occupants is two and the
maximum number is four. For a 3-bedroom apartment, the minimum number of occupants is
three and the maximum number is six. Ms. Lora testified that there were approximately thirty
households waiting for a 3-bedroom apartment like Respondent's on March 1, 2017, and
approximately that same number or more now.
Ms. Lora testified that when Respondent failed to move her HUD subsidy was terminated on
