A local housing authority could not approve Brown’s standard lease since it contains provisions which are clearly contrary to the provisions of the Section 8 program. Under the regulations, the lease must comply with requirements of the program and cannot contain certain prohibited lease provisions. 24 C.F.R. § 882.209(k) & Appendix I (1986). Brown’s lease contained provisions such as those requiring advance payment of the last month’s rent and a security deposit over and above that allowed under the regulations.
