EVICTION POLICY

Purpose

It is the intent for Chehalis Tribal Housing Authority to always create an environment of

equality and fairness in all respects of tenancy and programs offered under CTHA. The

Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation (“Tribes”) and/or the CTHA was established

for the purpose of providing housing to Tribal members and Indians living on tribal properties

through rentals, lease-to-purchase agreements, homeownership, homebuyer agreements in

addition to subsidized housing opportunities for low-income tribal families.

The purpose of this policy is to ensure CTHA program compliance and regulatory procedures

regarding collection and eviction sections pursuant to the CTHA Admission Policy XII.

Legal and Regulatory Requirements

The legal and regulatory requirements for Chehalis Tribal Housing Authority

The Residential Landlord/Tenant Act passed by the Chehalis General Council on

February 7, 1995, states in 16.10.01

Pursuant to Chehalis Tribal Code: 12.10.150 Duties of tenant.

Each tenant shall pay the rental amount at such time and in such amounts as provided for in

the rental agreement or as otherwise provided by law and comply with all obligations

imposed upon tenants by applicable provisions of law and in addition shall:



Keep that part of the premises which he or she occupies and uses as clean and sanitary

as the conditions of the premises permit;



Properly dispose from his or her dwelling unit all rubbish, garbage, and other organic

or flammable waste, in a clean and sanitary manner at reasonable and regular intervals,

and assume all costs of extermination and fumigation for infestation caused by the

tenant;



Properly use and operate all electrical, gas, heating, plumbing and other fixtures and

appliances supplied by the landlord;



Not intentionally or negligently destroy, deface, damage, impair, or remove any part of

the structure or dwelling, with the appurtenances thereto, including the facilities,

equipment, furniture, furnishings, and appliances, or permit any member of his or her

family, invitee, licensee, or any person acting under his or her control to do so.

Violations may be prosecuted under CTC 4.15.010 (arson) or 4.15.120 (vandalism) if

the destruction is intentional and malicious;



Not permit a nuisance or common waste;



Not engage in drug-related activity at the rental premises, or allow a subtenant,

sublessee, resident, or anyone else to engage in drug-related activity at the rental

premises. “Drug-related activity” means that activity that constitutes a violation of

Chapter 4.45 CTC.



Maintain the smoke detection device in accordance with the manufacturer’s

recommendations, including the replacement of batteries where required for the proper

2

DocuSign Envelope ID: 098F1EC8-9F44-4956-B83C-BF1F39A6BF49

operation of the smoke detection device, as required in CTC 12.10.400.



Not engage in any activity at the rental premises that is imminently hazardous to the

physical safety of other persons on the premises and:



Entails physical assaults upon another person that result in an arrest; or



Entails the unlawful use of a firearm or other deadly weapon that results in an arrest,

including threatening another tenant or the landlord with a firearm or other deadly

weapon under CTC 12.10.370. Nothing in this subsection H shall authorize the

termination of tenancy and eviction of the victim of a physical assault or the victim of

the use or threatened use of a firearm or other deadly weapon; and



Upon termination and vacation, restore the premises to their initial condition except

for reasonable wear and tear or conditions caused by failure of the landlord to comply

with his or her obligations under this chapter; provided, that the tenant shall not be

charged for normal cleaning if he or she has paid a nonrefundable cleaning fee.

"A tenant ... shall be guilty of unlawful detainer if such person shall continue occupancy ... (2) After

receiving thirty (30) days' notice, ... (a)(a) that he or she is in default in the payment of rent; and (ii)

requiring him, in the alternative, to pay the rent or surrender possession of the occupied property;

and such person has remained in possession after receipt of such notice without either surrendering

the possession of the property or paying the rent;..."

The Chehalis Tribal Code Title 12 Ordinance passed by the Chehalis General Council in creating the

housing authority states in Article VIII (e):

"The Tribal Government hereby declares that the powers of the Tribal Government shall be

vigorously utilized to enforce eviction of a tenant or Homebuyer for nonpayment or other contract

violations, including action through the appropriate courts".

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Indian Housing Regulations require each

Indian Housing Authority to adopt Tenant and Homebuyer Collection Policies, including the

remedy of eviction. It states in 24 CFR 950.335:

"Each Indian Housing Authority shall establish and adopt and use its best efforts to obtain

compliance with written policies sufficient to assure the prompt payment and collection of rents and

homebuyer payments."

In 24 CFR 950.340:

"Each IHA shall use leases that: ...(3) Require the IHA to give adequate written notice of termination

of the lease that shall not be less than: ... (ii) fourteen days in the case of nonpayment of rent."

MEDIATION

At Chehalis Tribal Housing Authority, we recognize the importance of

maintaining harmonious relationships between tenants and ensuring a peaceful

living environment within our housing community. We understand that conflicts

and disputes may arise from time to time, which can affect the well-being and

satisfaction of our tenants.

The purpose of our tenant mediation program is to provide a fair and neutral

platform for resolving conflicts and disputes that may arise between tenants

and CTHA. Our goal is to facilitate open communication, understanding, and

mutually satisfactory resolutions, while promoting positive interactions and

fostering a sense of community. Through our tenant mediation program, we

aim to achieve the following objectives:

Conflict Resolution: We strive to address conflicts and disputes promptly and

effectively, offering a confidential and supportive environment where tenants

can express their concerns and perspectives with a neutral third party and

CTHA.

Mediation Facilitation: Mediators act as neutral third parties, facilitating

constructive communication and assisting tenants in finding mutually agreeable

solutions. They help to clarify issues, explore options, and encourage

respectful dialogue.

5

DocuSign Envelope ID: 098F1EC8-9F44-4956-B83C-BF1F39A6BF49

Preserving Relationships: We understand the value of maintaining positive

relationships among tenants. Through mediation, we seek to preserve and

strengthen tenant relationships, encouraging understanding, empathy, and

cooperation.

Empowering Tenants: We believe in empowering tenants by providing them

with the opportunity to actively participate in the resolution process. Mediation

encourages tenants to find their own solutions and make informed decisions

that best suit their needs.

Compliance with Policies and Regulations: Our tenant mediation program

ensures that resolutions align with applicable housing policies, regulations, and

legal requirements, promoting fairness and consistency in decision-making.

Efficiency and Timeliness: We are committed to conducting mediation sessions

in a timely manner, recognizing the importance of resolving conflicts promptly

to maintain a peaceful living environment.

Education and Awareness: We aim to raise awareness among tenants about

the benefits of mediation as a peaceful and constructive means of resolving

disputes. We provide information and resources to help tenants understand

their rights, responsibilities, and options for conflict resolution.

By fostering a culture of open communication, respect, and collaboration, our

tenant mediation program seeks to enhance the quality of life for all residents

and promote a positive living experience within our housing community.

We encourage tenants to embrace the opportunity to engage in mediation and

work towards resolving conflicts in a constructive manner. Together, we can

create an environment that fosters understanding, cooperation, and a sense of

belonging for everyone.Mediation involves the intervention of a third person, or

mediator, into a dispute to assist the tenant and CTHA in negotiating jointly

acceptable resolution of issues in conflict. The mediator meets with the parties

at a neutral location where the parties can discuss the dispute and explore a

variety of solutions. Each party is encouraged to be open and candid about

his/her point of view.

All mediation sessions are private and confidential. Matters unique to the

mediation discussion have been held by Federal courts to be privileged and

inadmissible in any adversarial administrative or court proceeding with the

exception of certain issues such as fraud, waste and abuse, or criminal activity.

If a settlement was not resolved during a mediation session, and the dispute

was litigated in any administrative or judicial proceeding, neither the mediator

nor his/her notes can be subpoenaed by either party.

6

DocuSign Envelope ID: 098F1EC8-9F44-4956-B83C-BF1F39A6BF49

Should a mediation attempt fail, the tenant may continue to utilize the

grievance process to request a Board of Commissions meeting.

III.

electronically is described below.

Consequences of changing your mind

If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the

speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to

you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,

and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such

paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to

receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents

from us.

All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide

electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,

authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made

available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you

inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required

notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given

us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through

the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as

described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the

consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures

electronically from us.
