The landlord and tenant must enter into a lease and a Housing Assistance Payments contract. There are strict guidelines designed to protect the tenant, landlord, and the rental unit. The prospective tenant is encouraged to do as much as possible to find their own housing and work out the arrangements with the landlord.
