(2)The circumstances leading to the eviction no longer exist (for example, the criminal household member has died or is imprisoned).
(b)You must establish standards that prohibit admission of a household to federally assisted housing if:
(1)You determine that any household member is currently engaging in illegal use of a drug; or
(2)You determine that you have reasonable cause to believe that a household member's illegal use or a pattern of illegal use of a drug may interfere with the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.
