The Section 8 Lease: Can I lose my Section 8/Leased Housing voucher because of drug-related or violent criminal activity by a family member or guest? Is there any limitation on where this takes place?

Yes. Section 8 participants can be terminated for drug-related or violent criminal activity by a household member that takes place anywhere - it doesn’t have to occur in the apartment. The participant can also be charged with a serious lease violation for drug-related or violent criminal activity on or near the premises by a guest, or other criminal activity by a household member or guest on or near the premises that has an adverse impact on the health, safety, or quiet enjoyment of other residents or neighbors in the immediate vicinity.
