A. Owners must submit requests for rent increases to HUD or the Contract Administrator following the submission requirements described in the following:
HUD Handbook 4350.1, Multifamily Asset Management and Project Servicing, for budget-based rent increases, annual adjustment factor increases, and utility allowance changes; or
The Section 8 Contract Renewal Policy Guide for rent adjustments, if the Section 8 contract has been renewed pursuant to Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act (MAHRA).
B. Owners must implement approved rent changes on the effective date approved by HUD or the Contract Administrator. In some cases, this date may reflect a retroactive approval, and the owner must change the tenant certification and adjust the monthly subsidy voucher. Revised data must be transmitted to the Contract Administrator or to TRACS to reflect the retroactive changes.
C. Owners must make changes to the Utility Allowances effective the same date as the rent effective date for the annual analysis submitted at the time of the rent adjustment. In cases where the Utility Analysis is completed mid-year due to a 10% or greater rate increase, the effective date of the Utility Allowance must be the first day of the first month following approval by HUD or the Contract Administrator.
D. Owners must prepare tenant certifications reflecting gross rent changes using the on-site software and submit the changes to their Contract Administrator or TRACS for each tenant in the project/contract.
