Can my HUD housing evict me and refuse my rent?

Okay, if they have decided that they're going to terminate your tenancy and evict, then they do not want to accept the rent in case you claim that a new tenancy has been created, due to them accepting the rent.
But they are not attempting to evict you for non-payment. It is for whatever dispute your daughter got into that was a violation of the terms of your lease. That will all be heard at the court hearing, with the judge making a determination of whether that was a violation of your lease or not.
If the judge rules in your favor and dismisses the eviction case, then you would be able to pay the rent at that time because they would have to give you a written notice to pay or vacate if they were then going to try and evict over non-payment. So, make sure you set that money aside and have it available to pay immediately if the judge rules for you in court.

I live in HUD housing, and I have a Notice to Quit, for an eviction. Can my apartment management refuse my rent?
I understand receiving a notice to quit can be concerning. Have you been given a reason for the notice to quit?
Yes, my 14-year-old daughter was in a fight with another minor.
Have you tried discussing this situation with your apartment management to see if there is a resolution that can be reached?
I was never given any kind of due process.
Is there anything else the landlord-tenant lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your due process.
No

I have read your post and I am sorry to hear you are having to deal with this situation as I realize it can be frustrating and confusing.
Has the landlord actually filed for an eviction case in court?
I've been told that they are going to file for an eviction after June 10. That’s the day I was told to leave in the Notice to Quit. I’ve tried to pay my rent everyday this month and its being blocked.
