A Model Lease for Subsidized Programs is a contract between a landlord and tenant who are receiving financial assistance from a government-sponsored housing program. This type of lease sets out the tenant's rights and obligations, the landlord's rights and obligations, and the payment of rent and other costs. It also outlines the landlord's responsibilities for maintenance and repair of the unit. There are two main types of Model Lease for Subsidized Programs: the HUD Model Lease and the Section 8 Model Lease. HUD Model Lease is used for tenants receiving rental assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The HUD Model Lease outlines the tenant's rights and obligations, the landlord's rights and obligations, rent and other costs, and maintenance and repair of the unit. The Section 8 Model Lease is used for tenants receiving rental assistance from the Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development program. This type of lease outlines the tenant's rights and obligations, the landlord's rights and obligations, rent and other costs, and maintenance and repair of the unit. It also contains rules regarding eligibility for the program, such as income limits and other criteria. In both cases, the Model Lease for Subsidized Programs outlines the responsibilities of both the tenant and the landlord, and ensures that both parties are operating within the confines of the government-funded program.
