The initial lease runs at least one year or the remaining contract term, and no renewal may run past the contract

mod_rehab.lease.initial_term_and_renewal_within_the_contract_term · v1.0.0

The initial lease between the family and the owner must be for at least one year or the term of the housing assistance payments contract, whichever is shorter. Where less than one year remains on the contract, the owner and the PHA may instead mutually agree to terminate the unit from the contract rather than lease it to an eligible family. Any renewal or extension of the lease term must in no case extend beyond the remaining term of the contract.
