24 CFR 5 Subpart L Protection for Victims of Domestic Violence in Public
and Section 8 Housing*HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 6-3 serves as a regulatory roadmap, consolidating the key federal citations that govern leases and lease attachments in HUD-assisted housing programs. It points to rules covering lease form and content requirements, lead-based paint disclosure obligations, pet ownership policies for elderly or disabled residents, procedures for amending leases, and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) protections. Rather than establishing new substantive rules itself, this section directs readers to the specific Code of Federal Regulations provisions—such as 24 CFR parts 5, 35, 247, and 880–891—that contain the operative requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of HUD-assisted properties use § 6-3 of HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 as a reference index to ensure their lease documents and practices align with the full set of applicable federal regulations. Compliant operators typically maintain leases that satisfy the form and content standards cited across 24 CFR 880–891, include required lead-based paint disclosures under 24 CFR part 35 and 40 CFR part 745, follow pet ownership rules under 24 CFR part 5 subpart C for eligible properties, and apply VAWA protections under 24 CFR part 5 subpart L. When amending leases or adjusting rents, operators generally follow the notice and modification procedures referenced in 24 CFR 247.4 and the program-specific provisions listed in this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents in HUD-assisted housing benefit from a layered set of federal protections that § 6-3 of HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 catalogs, including rights related to lease terms, lead-based paint hazard disclosure, pet ownership for elderly or disabled households, and VAWA protections for survivors of domestic violence under 24 CFR part 5 subpart L. If a landlord attempts to modify a lease or increase rent without following the notice procedures cited in this section—such as those under 24 CFR 247.4—tenants may have grounds to raise that procedural gap as a concern with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Tenant-rights organizations and HUD's own complaint resources can help residents understand which specific cited regulations apply to their property type and program.
