Sec. 891.425  Lease requirements.

    This section shall apply to capital advances under the Section 202 
Program and the Section 811 Program, as well as loans financed under 
subpart E of this part.
    (a) Term of lease. The term of the lease may not be less than one 
year. Unless the lease has been terminated by appropriate action, upon 
expiration of the lease term, the household and Owner (or family and 
Borrower, as applicable) may execute a new lease for a term not less 
than one year, or may take no action. If no action is taken, the lease 
will automatically be renewed for successive terms of one month.
    (b) Termination by the household (or family, as applicable). All 
leases may contain a provision that permits the household (or family) to 
terminate the lease upon 30 days advance notice. A lease for a term that 
exceeds one year must contain such provision.
    (c) Form. The Owner (or Borrower, as applicable) shall use the lease 
form prescribed by HUD. In addition to required provisions of the lease 
form, the Owner (or Borrower) may include a provision in the lease 
permitting the Owner (or Borrower) to enter the leased premises at any 
time without advance notice when there is reasonable cause to believe 
that an emergency exists or that health or safety of a family member is 
endangered.
