The Worcester Housing Authority is pleased to provide landlords with a model lease in conjunction with the Section 8 Program. The model lease we provide includes all the provisions that HUD requires as well as an optional Part C, which contains additional provisions. We recommend you use this optional part in your lease, as it contains very pertinent information.

To access these documents, please see below.

    1. The HUD Tenancy Addendum must be attached to all leases.
    2. You must fill out the lease completely in order for it to be valid, so pay close attention to the blank areas that require information.
