The Renewal Policy Guide further demonstrates, that the right to remain is integrated into the larger Section 8 scheme, including, the-opt-out provisions. For example, the Guide references the right to remain in a sample notice for landlords to provide tenants before opting out of project-based Section 8 assistance. That letter notifies tenants that “As an. owner, we will honor your right as a tenant to remain at the property on this basis as long as it continues to be offered as rental housing, provided that there is no cause for eviction under Federal, State or local law." Id. App. 11-3. It also instructs agency officials processing an opt-out to ensure that the owner' sent such a letter stating “that the owner will honor the right of tenants to remain” and that the owner “certif[ied] that it will honor the tenant’s right to remain at the project as long as the project continues to be offered for rental housing ..,. unless the owner has grounds for eviction ...” Id. § 8-3.
