An attorney representing the housing authority, Gretchen Avery, did not return a request for comment. Bart McMahon, an attorney for Katina Powell, declined to comment.
The petition to evict Powell comes from an incident involving her daughter in January 2018.
On Jan. 31, Lindsay Powell came out of their home and is accused of pointing a Taurus .38 caliber handgun at a man who was going to his car, according to an arrest citation.
It was deemed a violation of the lease contract, according to the petition. Katina Powell was notified in writing to vacate the premises on Feb. 8.
Lindsay Powell was also arrested in September on charges of fourth-degree assault and burglary.
And in January, the mother and daughter were accused of stealing $32.12 worth of merchandise from a Louisville Walmart, according to an arrest citation.

In "Breaking Cardinal Rules," Powell wrote that Andre McGee, then Louisville's director of basketball operations, paid her to hold parties in Minardi Hall, a dorm for athletes. The allegations led to NCAA to revoke Louisville's 123 wins including the 2013 men's basketball national championship.
Powell alleged she provided strippers who made deals to dance for and have sex with Louisville basketball players and recruits between 2010 and 2014.
She is due in court on May 10, according to online records
