Tenant Rights In Renewals

Summary

Tenants in properties with Public Housing Agency involvement are protected by federal laws, including the HUD tenant addendum, which ensures certain tenant rights that cannot be waived by private corporations, even during renewals. Including the HUD tenant addendum in lease renewals can help protect these rights. If facing issues with management, consider documenting communications, submitting documents securely, and reaching out to local tenant advocacy groups or the CT State HUD for support. Managers must comply with HUD regulations, and legal action or complaints can be filed if they do not.
