RENEWAL CONTRACT
a

b

Parties
(1)

The Renewal Contract is a housing assistance payments
contract (“HAP Contract”) between the Contract
Administrator and the Owner of the Project (see section 1).

(2)

If HUD is the Contract Administrator, HUD may assign the
Renewal Contract to a public housing agency (“PHA”) for the
purpose of PHA administration of the Renewal Contract, as
Contract Administrator, in accordance with the Renewal
Contract (during the term of the annual contributions contract
(“ACC”) between HUD and the PHA). Notwithstanding such
assignment, HUD shall remain a party to the provisions of
the Renewal Contract that specify HUD’s role pursuant to
the Renewal Contract, including such provisions of section
10 (HUD requirements), section 11 (statutory changes
during term) and section 12 (PHA default), of the Renewal
Contract.

Expiring Contract
Previously, the Contract Administrator and the Owner had entered
into a HAP Contract ("expiring contract") to make Section 8 housing
assistance payments to the Owner for eligible families living in the
Project. The term of the expiring contract will expire or terminate
prior to the beginning of the term of the Renewal Contract.

Purpose of Renewal Contract

The purpose of the Renewal Contract is to renew the
expiring contract for an additional term. During the term of
the Renewal Contract, the Contract Administrator shall make
housing assistance payments to the Owner in accordance
with the provisions of the Renewal Contract.

(2)

Housing assistance payments shall only be paid to the
Owner for contract units occupied by eligible families leasing
decent, safe and sanitary units from the Owner in
accordance with statutory requirements, and with all HUD
regulations and other requirements. If the Contract
Administrator determines that the Owner has failed to
maintain one or more contract units in decent, safe and
sanitary condition, and has abated housing assistance
payments to the owner for such units, the Contract
Administrator may use amounts otherwise payable to the
Owner pursuant to the Renewal Contract for the purpose of
relocating or rehousing assisted residents in other housing.

Contract units
The Renewal Contract applies to the Contract units.

provisions of the Expiring Contract are renewed (to the extent such
provisions are consistent with statutory requirements in effect at the
beginning of the Renewal Contract term).

the following subjects are not renewed, and shall not be applicable

U.S.C. 1437f(c)(5)). Section 8(c)(5) does not apply to the
Renewal Contract, or to payment of housing assistance
payments during the Renewal Contract term.

The Renewal Contract includes those provisions of the Expiring
Contract that are renewed in accordance with this section 5.

CONTRACT RENT

Initial contract rents
At the beginning of the Renewal Contract term, and until contract
rents for units in the Project are adjusted in accordance with section

Attachment 16

notice with a revised Exhibit A that specifies the adjusted
contract rent amounts.
(b) The revised Exhibit A shall specify the adjusted contract
rent amount for each bedroom size as determined by the
Contract Administrator in accordance with this section.

the Owner shall specify when the adjustment of contract
rent is effective.

Should the Project anytime during the term of the
Renewal Contract receive other government assistance,
including but not limited to any loan, grant, credit, tax
benefit, or any other form of direct or indirect assistance
such as tax credits under Federal, State or local law, the
Owner shall provide HUD with written notice, no more
than 30 days following receipt of notification from the
governmental authority issuing the assistance that such
assistance has been or will be awarded. The written
notice will identify the type and amount of the assistance
awarded, the government entity providing such
assistance, and the date of the award. HUD will review
the underwriting projections resulting from the receipt of
other government assistance, and if HUD determines that
Project operating expenses, debt service, and/or required
replacement reserve contributions will decrease as a
Full Mark-To-Market Renewal Contract form HUD-9642
REV 10/09
Page 7

Attachment 16

result of the Project’s receipt of other government
assistance, HUD may adjust the contract rents downward
to the greatest of the following:
Actual market rents as noted above, adjusted
upwards using the appropriate OCAF adjustment
factor, compounded annually from the origination
date of the renewal contract, per HUD
guidelines;
Revised exception rent after applying the other
government assistance, which is determined to
decrease operating expenses, debt service,
and/or required replacement reserve
contribution; and
Market rents that reflect improvements to the
Project (as improved rents) resulting from the
application of the additional government
assistance, not to exceed the contract rent then
in effect. The owner must submit to HUD a rent
comparability study (RCS) prepared (at the
owner’s expense) in accordance with HUD
requirements. HUD will have sole discretion to
review and adjust the rents provided in the RCS
to eliminate upward adjustments attributable to
improvements that exceed the M2M Program’s
non-luxury standard. The rent comparability
study must be submitted to HUD along with the
notification of the award of the other
governmental assistance.
If the additional government assistance is provided in
conjunction with a transaction requiring prior HUD
approval, such as, an assumption/subordination of Markto-Market debt, a TPA, or the approval of a new FHA
insured first mortgage, the owner must notify the HUD
official approving that transaction of the requirements of
this Section. No additional notification of HUD or the
Section 8 Contract Administrator staff will be required.

Attachment 16

If new secured debt and/or tax credit equity is involved,
the owner shall submit pro-forma estimates of the
operating expenses, debt service, and replacement
reserves that will be required after the application of the
additional government assistance. These estimates will
be reviewed by HUD in its process of determining a
possible contract rent adjustment.
(d) Notice of rent adjustment by the Contract Administrator to
the Owner shall automatically constitute an amendment
of the Renewal Contract.
(3)

No other adjustments
Except for contract rent adjustments in accordance with this
section, there shall not be any other adjustments of the contract
rents during the term of the Renewal Contract. Special
adjustments shall not be granted.

Contract.

Contract. However, any changes in HUD requirements that are

inconsistent with section 6 of the Renewal Contract, and if HUD

PHA DEFAULT
a

This section 12 of the Renewal Contract applies if the Contract
Administrator is a PHA acting as Contract Administrator pursuant to
an annual contributions contract (“ACC”) between the PHA and
HUD. This includes a case where HUD has assigned the Renewal
Contract to a PHA Contract Administrator, for the purpose of PHA
administration of the Renewal Contract.

b

If HUD determines that the PHA has committed a material and
substantial breach of the PHA’s obligation, as Contract
Administrator, to make housing assistance payments to the Owner
in accordance with the provisions of the Renewal Contract, and that
the Owner is not in default of its obligations under the Renewal
Contract, HUD shall take any action HUD determines necessary for
the continuation of housing assistance payments to the Owner in
accordance with the Renewal Contract.

EXCLUSION OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS
a

The Contract Administrator does not assume any responsibility for
injury to, or any liability to, any person injured as a result of the
Owner's action or failure to act in connection with the Contract
Administrator’s implementation of the Renewal Contract, or as a
result of any other action or failure to act by the Owner.

b

The Owner is not the agent of the Contract Administrator or HUD,
and the Renewal Contract does not create or affect any relationship
between the Contract Administrator or HUD and any lender to the
Owner or any suppliers, employees, contractors or subcontractors
used by the Owner in connection with implementation of the
Renewal Contract.

c

If the Contract Administrator is a PHA acting as Contract
Administrator pursuant to an annual contributions contract (“ACC”)
between the PHA and HUD, the Contract Administrator is not the
agent of HUD, and the Renewal Contract does not create any
relationship between HUD and any suppliers, employees,
contractors or subcontractors used by the Contract Administrator to
carry out functions or responsibilities in connection with contract
administration under the ACC.
