NYCHA Lease Renewal

Date:

Dear Landlord:

Our records indicate that your tenant’s lease is due for renewal.

Current regulations require that Section 8 landlords provide information regarding proposed lease renewals and rent increases at least 60 days prior to the commencement of a lease renewal. Please use this form to notify us of your intentions as to the term of the lease and amount of any rent increase. NYCHA will evaluate the reasonableness of the rent increase you are seeking to determine whether it may be approved in accordance with HUD regulations.

Rent increases are generally limited to the current standards approved by the Rent Guidelines Board (RGB).

YOU ARE REMINDED THAT RENT STABILIZED TENANTS HAVE THE OPTION TO SELECT THE TERM OF THE LEASE.

Please check all applicable boxes, and return this form to the Housing Assistant AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS.

PLEASE DO NOT WRITE BELOW THIS LINE. FOR NYCHA USE ONLY.
