Anyone with Section 8 experience in Pittsburgh area?

Section 8 only does a one year lease, and after it runs out, the lease then automatically renews on a month to month basis. I am in the Pittsburgh area.

Does anyone know any way or loopholes to be able to do a full year lease (assuming the tenant is good and wants to stay) after the initial year is completed? Just want to be able to protect myself from a possible vacancy in the middle of the winter..

I tried adding an addendum to where the tenant can't end lease certain times of the year, as well as a minimum 60 day notice, but was told by Sec 8, thats not going to get approved. 

Any help, advice is much appreciated!
