       Given § 1437f(t)’s silence as to property owners’
nonrenewal rights, we look to § 1437f(o)’s termination
provision, which states:
              [D]uring the term of the lease, the
              owner shall not terminate the
              tenancy except for serious or
              repeated violation of the terms and
              conditions of the lease, for
              violation of applicable Federal,
              State, or local law, or for other
              good cause . . . .
§ 1437f(o)(7)(C) (emphasis added). Under the plain language
of § 1437f(o), Harvey’s termination rights were limited only
during the term of the Hayes family’s lease. 7 Harvey did not
seek a midterm eviction. He sought to terminate the Hayes
family’s tenancy upon the natural expiration of their lease
term. Therefore, in order for us to find that the enhanced
voucher provision precludes Harvey’s termination through
nonrenewal, we would need to apply the termination provision
