24 C.F.R. § 891.802
§ 891.802 Applicability of other provisions. (24 CFR Part 891)
Operative Text
The provisions of 24 CFR part 891, subparts A through D, apply to this subpart F unless otherwise stated.
Section 891.802 establishes that the rules found in subparts A through D of 24 CFR Part 891 carry forward and govern subpart F as well, unless a specific provision in subpart F states otherwise. This means subpart F does not operate in isolation; it inherits the broader framework of requirements, definitions, and standards set out earlier in Part 891. Where subpart F contains its own conflicting or superseding language, that language controls.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners subject to 24 CFR Part 891 subpart F should be aware that, under § 891.802, compliance obligations extend beyond subpart F itself to encompass the requirements laid out in subparts A through D. A compliant operator generally reviews all four of those earlier subparts to understand definitions, program requirements, and operational standards that remain in effect. Where subpart F introduces specific rules that differ from subparts A through D, those subpart F provisions take precedence.

Under § 891.802, tenants living in housing governed by 24 CFR Part 891 subpart F have protections and rights drawn from both subpart F and the earlier subparts A through D, unless subpart F specifically says otherwise. This means the full scope of applicable rules is broader than subpart F alone, and understanding subparts A through D may be relevant to understanding one's rights. Tenants who believe a provision has been misapplied may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization or a HUD-approved housing counselor familiar with Part 891.
