          Contrary to the dissent’s suggestions, the idea of a
perpetual lease is not a “strawman.” See Dissenting Op. at 23.
Because the statute does not by its terms require cause for
nonrenewal, any limitations on nonrenewal would necessarily
come from the HAP contract or related lease. After those
documents have expired, extending any of their limitations
would in effect be subjecting the property owners to a perpetual
tenancy. The statute does not, however, provide for a perpetual
tenancy. In referring to the question of a perpetual tenancy as
a “strawman,” the dissent fails to consider the actual
implications of its interpretation of the enhanced voucher
provision.
