24 CFR 891.425 applies to capital advances under the Section 202 and Section 811 programs as well as to loans financed under 24 CFR part 891 subpart E. The owner must use the lease form prescribed by HUD. The term may not be less than one year; absent action at expiration the household and owner may execute a new lease of not less than one year or take no action, in which case the lease renews automatically for successive one-month terms. All leases may contain a provision permitting the household to terminate on 30 days advance notice, and a lease exceeding one year must contain such a provision. The lease must contain a provision or addendum that tenants will receive notification at least 30 days before a formal judicial eviction is filed.
