What should a participant do if their lease is expiring?

A participant whose lease is expiring should notify their housing authority and discuss options for lease renewal or transfers. This proactive step is essential because it keeps the communication open between the tenant and the housing authority, allowing for clarification on any available options. Discussing lease renewal can provide the participant with an opportunity to extend their stay and also understand any changes in terms of their lease. If a transfer is necessary due to personal circumstances or housing changes, this conversation can facilitate that process as well. Engaging with the housing authority ensures that the participant stays informed about their rights and responsibilities and avoids potential issues related to housing stability.
