Housing Choice Voucher Program: 
Leasing

Continued from previous page

Leases

The initial term of the lease is generally 12 months. Owners use the same lease for voucher-assisted tenants that they use for non-assisted tenants, as long as the lease includes: (1) names of owner and tenant; (2) address of the unit, including apartment number; (3) monthly rent to owner; (4) utilities and appliances supplied by owner and (5) utilities and appliances supplied by tenant.

If the tenant wants to start using a voucher for a unit in which he or she has been living, a new lease will be required.
