Households in Project-Based units: the rent increase will not affect the tenant’s portion of the rent.
Households with Tenant-Based vouchers: the rent increase may affect your portion of the rent.
- If the gross rent (total rent plus utilities) exceeds the payment standard then the tenant portion of the rent may increase
- The CHA will require both the tenant and the owner to agree to the increase prior to approving and implementing.
- If the gross rent (total rent plus utilities) does not exceed the payment standard then the tenant portion of the rent will not change, unless the household is also recertifying and there has been changes in household income.
