Rents requested by owners of multi-family units will be reviewed for rent reasonableness. If the rent comparison meets the owner’s requested rent, this rent will be established rent for all like units at the property. D. RENT TO OWNER The rent to owner is limited by rent reasonableness. The PHA must demonstrate that the rent to owner is reasonable in comparison to rent for other comparable unassisted units. The only other limitation on rent to owner is the maximum rent burden permissible at initial occupancy (24 CFR 982.508). At the time a family initially receives tenant-based assistance for occupancy of a dwelling unit, whether it is a new admission or a move to a different unit, if the gross rent for the unit exceeds the applicable payment standard for the family, the family share may not exceed 40 percent of the family's monthly adjusted income. During the initial term of the lease, the owner may not increase the rent. 1. Making Payments to Owners [24 CFR 982.451] Once the HAP contract is executed, the PHA begins processing payments to the landlord. A HAP Register will be used as a basis for monitoring the accuracy and timeliness of payments. Changes are made to the HAP Register for the following month. Payments are disbursed to the owner each month. Lost or stolen payments will be replaced upon receipt of an executed affidavit from the payee. 2. Excess Payments The contract rent is the established rent. The owner must immediately return any excess subsidy payment to the PHA and any excess participant portion to the tenant. Owners who do not return excess payments will be subject to penalties as outlined in the “Owner or Family Debts to the PHA" chapter of this Administrative Plan. 3. Late Payment Penalty The PHA must make Housing Assistance Payments to the owner promptly and in accordance with the HAP contract. If Housing Assistance Payments are not paid promptly when due after the first two calendar months of the HAP contract term, the PHA shall pay the owner penalties in accordance with generally accepted practices and law, as applicable in the local housing market, governing penalties for late payment by a tenant. However, the PHA shall not be obligated to pay any late payment penalty if HUD determines that the late payment by the PHA is due to factors beyond the PHA’s control. Moreover, the PHA shall not be obligated to pay any late payment penalty if Housing Assistance Payments by the PHA are delayed or denied as a remedy for owner breach of the HAP contract (including any of the following PHA remedies: recovery of overpayments, suspension of Housing Assistance Payments, abatement or reduction of Copyright 2000 by Nan McKay & Associates To be printed only with permission of Nan McKay & Associates Unlimited copies may be made for internal use Approved by CMHA Board of Commissioners October 3, 2012 101 | P a g e
Housing Assistance Payments, termination of Housing Assistance Payments and termination of the contract) 4. Annual Adjustment of Rent to Owner [24 CFR 982.519]. Contract Rent for the first year remains unchanged. A request for an adjustment in Contract Rent can be made after the first anniversary date if: a) Rent to owner will not be increased unless the owner requests the increase by giving notice to the PHA. b) The owner has complied with all requirements of the HAP contract, including compliance with the HQS. c) Rent to owner will only be increased for Housing Assistance Payments covering months commencing on the later of: i. The first day of the first month commencing on or after the contract anniversary date. ii. At least sixty days after the PHA receives the owner’s request. d) The rent to owner may be adjusted up or down. Any increase in owner rent will be the lesser of the amount of increase requested by the owner, or an amount that does not exceed the prevailing annual percentage increase evident in the market area.
