Swedish term or phrase: förstahandskontrakt

Any suggestions for how to express a direct contract (rental agreement) in the context of public housing, referred to in Swedish as a förstahandskontrakt?

(and not "first hand contract," as this is sometimes translated to)
In other words, a rental agreement for an apartment that is signed directly with the owner (and not with someone holding tenancy rights) to rent an apartment.

(thanks everyone for your previous help with the questions relating to andrahandshyresgäster)

Grading comment

All of these proposed answers are correct, and Primary Tenancy is probably the best. Master lease or primary lease is also appropriate in some contexts.
However in this particular context, i.e. social services, in relation to unhoused or persons in an insecure housing situation, I think a description is necessary as otherwise a particular term would not be understood.

head lease or master lease

Explanation:
I've put a low confidence level because this isn't my field but a couple of dictionaries offer "head lease" and "master lease" as translations so they are worth exploring. The definition of a "master lease" below seems to fit your context.

primary lease

Explanation:
I can only say that I use this term with English speakers when describing my (pathetic) housing situation in Stockholm, and everyone seems to understand it. It also has the advantage of brevity.
