Tenants assert that the legal fees provision of the lease is prohibited
by HUD rules. Tenants cite to a HUD handbook for this proposition.
Tenants have not shown, however, the legal foundation—whether in federal
law or regulation or elsewhere—for the handbook’s prohibition.
Furthermore, tenants have not shown the applicability of HUD rules to the
lease at issue. To the contrary, landlord’s attorney has suggested that
tenants were not HUD subsidized residents and therefore not subject to
HUD regulations.
