Because it is a part of the lease, the tenant shall have the right to enforce the Tenancy <br />Addendum against the owner. If there <br />Addendum, the terms of the Tenancy Addendum shall prevail over any other provisions of the <br />lease. <br /> <br /> <br />Lease Information \[24 CFR 982.308(d)\] <br />The assisted dwelling lease must contain all of the required information as listed below: <br />The names of the owner and the tenant: <br /> <br />The unit rented (address, apartment number, and any other information needed to identify the <br /> <br />contract unit) <br />The term of the lease (initial term and any provisions for renewal) <br /> <br />The amount of the monthly rent to owner <br /> <br />A specification of what utilities and appliances are to be supplied by the owner, and what <br /> <br />utilities and appliances are to be supplied by the family <br />Term of Assisted Tenancy <br />The initial term of the assisted dwelling lease must be for at least one year \[24 CFR 982.309\]. <br />The initial lease term is also stated in the HAP contract. <br />The HUD program regulations permit the PHA to approve a shorter initial lease term if certain <br />conditions are met. <br />SAHA Policy <br /> <br /> SAHA may approve an initial lease term of less than one (1) year. <br />During the initial term of the lease, the owner may not raise the rent to owner \[24 CFR 982.309\]. <br />Any provisions for renewal of the dwelling lease will be stated in the dwelling lease \[HCV <br />Guidebook, pg. 8-22\].
