Must the initial lease state in writing that the lease is automatically renewable upon expiration at 1 year?

1 question

Yes, because it is a regulatory requirement that the lease is automatically renewable and terminable only for cause, HUD recommends that the lease explicitly state this provision even if it is assumed to be true because of local or state laws. By adding language or citing the local law regarding renewal terms in the lease, the recipient can ensure compliance with HUD regulations as well as the protection of tenant's rights.
