24 C.F.R. § 247.7
§ 247.7 Implementation. (24 CFR Part 247)
Operative Text
Every rental agreement entered into or renewed on and after the date on which this subpart is applicable to such tenant shall contain appropriate provisions implementing this subpart.
Under 24 CFR Part 247 § 247.7, once the protections of this subpart take effect for a given tenancy, every new or renewed rental agreement must include contract language that puts those protections into practice. The rule does not allow landlords and tenants to simply rely on the regulation existing externally — the agreement itself must reflect the subpart's requirements. This applies to agreements entered into or renewed on or after the date the subpart becomes applicable to that tenant.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to 24 CFR Part 247 § 247.7 generally ensure that their lease templates and renewal documents are updated to include provisions that mirror the requirements of this subpart before executing any new or renewed agreements. A compliant operator reviews lease language each time a tenancy begins or renews to confirm the relevant protections are expressly incorporated into the written agreement. Maintaining current lease forms that reflect the subpart's requirements is a standard practice for operators covered by Part 247.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under 24 CFR Part 247 § 247.7, tenants have a basis to expect that any rental agreement they sign or renew after this subpart applies to their tenancy will contain written provisions reflecting its protections — not just that those protections exist in federal regulation. If a lease appears to omit or contradict these required provisions, tenants may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or HUD-approved housing counselor to understand what options are available. Raising the absence of required lease language as a concern early in a tenancy is a path some tenants pursue when they believe their agreement does not comply with this section.
