(9) Housing ACT maintains a record of evictions but does not maintain records of people incarcerated who have been evicted. When the period of incarceration exceeds six months, Housing ACT may serve a 26 week “no cause” notice of eviction under clause 94 Schedule 1 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997. Housing ACT will consult with the tenant’s correctional welfare officer, parole officer and other support providers to determine post-release housing needs and how best to meet those needs.
