USE BEST PRACTICES TO STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE

LANDLORDS: Effective January 1, 2023 the updated policy in the Administrative Plan (listed here) is in effect:

The Lease governs rent increases. To receive a rent increase, the Owner must send the request for a rent increase to the Participant and send copy of the request to the HHA sixty (60) days prior to the anniversary of the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract and must include the new rent amount the owner is proposing. For example, if the HAP contract anniversary date is May 1, the owner must submit their request for a rent increase by March 1 to be effective for May 1.
