 Rent Determination
HUD requires that HCVP rents be "reasonable." CMHA monitors the rental market and establishes average gross rents for each sub-market within Cuyahoga County.
- Each housing unit proposed for contract is rated by an HCVP inspector relative to its location. The HUD defined "Fair Market Rent" (FMR) determines maximum subsidy, but not reasonable rent.
- Reasonable gross rent less allowances for tenant-paid utilities
equals reasonable rent.
- The Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) is the difference between
the contract rent and tenant's share of rent
(Tenant Rent).
- The tenant may not pay more than 40% of his/her adjusted income
toward the rent in the initial year of the contract.
