These obligations include abiding by the lease and the house rules attached to and incorporated into the lease, paying rent when due, maintaining the unit, and permitting other tenants peaceful enjoyment of their units and the common area.

Additionally, the termination of tenancy provides a mechanism to evict tenants who commit fraud or fail to provide the information required by HUD to establish their eligibility and/or appropriate rent.
B. The requirements and procedures also seek to ensure that owners provide tenants with proper notice and the opportunity to respond and treat all tenants in an equitable and consistent manner when terminating tenancy. Additionally, owners must be in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements when pursuing termination of tenancy. Owners must:
Adhere to termination criteria consistently and equitably; and
Enforce the lease and house rules, and if lease obligations are not fulfilled, initiate termination proceedings to guarantee the other residents’ health, safety, and peaceful enjoyment of the property.
C. An owner must not refuse to renew a lease solely because a lease term has expired. Figure 8-2 summarizes the allowable circumstances when an owner may terminate tenancy, either during or at the end of the lease term. Each circumstance will be discussed in detail in the paragraphs to follow.
