How to Request a Rent Increase
Housing Providers may request a rent increase at the end of the initial lease term for each unit, subject to key information requirements.
-
The Housing Provider must give DHA and the client sixty (60) days written notice of the new proposed rent increase amount.
-
Each rent Increase must meet Rent Reasonableness to be approved and processed.
- Client/tenant has the option to move rather than accept the new rental amount.
DHA may determine the Rent Reasonableness of a contract rent at any time. Rent Reasonableness determination should confirm that the requested rent amount is appropriate. To ensure that the rents charged by Housing Providers are reasonable, DHA will compare:
- The rent amount for the voucher-assisted unit to the rent amounts for similar unassisted units in the marketplace.
- The rent amounts to those for similar units on the premises or nearby. DHA considers location, quality, size, unit type, amenities, housing services, maintenance, utilities, and age of the unit when determining Rent Reasonableness.
