Operative Text

HUD HCV Guidebook § 2.5
In determining the reasonableness of owner-requested rent increases, the PHA must consider the owner
policies for existing assisted and unassisted tenants. For example:
     Rent increases for HCV tenants over time must be similar to increases charged to unassisted tenants
        who have lived in their units for approximately the same amount of time; and
     Reasonable rents for existing HCV tenants must not exceed rents charged for comparable unassisted
        units in which the tenants have lived for approximately the same amount of time.12
