24 C.F.R. § 882.809
§ 882.809 Waivers. (24 CFR Part 882)
Operative Text
Section 5.405(b) of this title does not apply to this program.
Under 24 CFR Part 882 § 882.809, the general waiver provision found at Section 5.405(b) of Title 24 is explicitly excluded from applying to the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation program. This means that the standard mechanism allowing certain regulatory requirements to be waived under that provision is not available within this particular program. The exclusion narrows the flexibility that might otherwise exist under the broader HUD regulatory framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers participating in the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation program should be aware that § 882.809 removes the option of seeking relief under the general waiver authority of 24 CFR § 5.405(b). Compliant operators in this program generally proceed without assuming that waiver pathways available in other HUD programs will apply here. When navigating program requirements, operators typically consult the specific rules governing the Moderate Rehabilitation program rather than relying on cross-program waiver mechanisms.

Section 882.809 establishes that tenants and housing providers in the Moderate Rehabilitation program cannot rely on the waiver provision at 24 CFR § 5.405(b) to modify program rules. Tenants who believe program requirements are not being followed may raise concerns with their local Public Housing Authority or HUD field office, or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with federal housing assistance programs. Understanding which regulatory provisions do and do not apply to this program can be relevant when evaluating the rights and obligations that govern a tenancy under it.
