Title: Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program Executing or Terminating Leases on Moderate Rehabilitation Units (FR-4472) 
Abstract: Section 8(d)(1)(B)(i) of the United States Housing Act requires that the initial lease between the tenant and the owner be for at least one year or the term of the HAP contract, whichever is shorter. Current program regulations state that the initial term between an owner and a family must be for at least one year. The regulation is silent on the requisite lease term when the HAP contract term expires in less than one year. The purpose of this regulation revision is to implement the statutory language which requires that any initial lease term not extend beyond the term of the housing assistance payment contract. This rule also will revise existing regulations to allow an owner and a public housing agency (PHA) to mutually agree to terminate a unit from the HAP contract if a unit becomes vacant and the term of the HAP contract is for less than one year.
