24 C.F.R. § 883.605
§ 883.605 Leasing to eligible families. (24 CFR Part 883)
Operative Text
The provisions of 24 CFR 880.504 apply to this section, including reference at 24 CFR 880.504(f) to the requirements of 24 CFR part 5, subpart L (Protection for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking), subject to the requirements of § 883.105.
Section 883.605 governs how housing assistance under this program is made available to eligible families by incorporating the leasing standards found elsewhere in federal housing regulations. Those incorporated rules include protections for individuals who have experienced domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, ensuring such individuals cannot be denied housing or penalized solely on that basis. The overall framework operates within the program-specific requirements set out at § 883.105.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators participating in the program covered by 24 CFR Part 883 § 883.605 are generally expected to follow the same leasing eligibility procedures that apply under the incorporated federal standards, including those that extend housing protections to survivors of domestic violence and related offenses. Compliant operators typically maintain leasing practices that do not screen out or terminate assistance for applicants or residents based solely on their status as a survivor. Familiarity with both the incorporated provisions and the program-specific rules at § 883.105 is part of routine compliance for this program.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 883.605, tenants and applicants in this housing program benefit from leasing protections that include federal safeguards for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. If a housing provider appears to be denying or terminating assistance in a way that conflicts with these protections, tenants may have grounds to raise that conflict as a defense or to file a complaint with the relevant housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with HUD programs can help individuals understand how these incorporated protections apply to their circumstances.
