Section 4: Calculating Tenant Rent

4350.3 REV-1

• E. Calculating Rent at Change in Occupancy

  1. If there is a change in the number of individuals occupying the double occupancy unit, the assistance payment for the whole unit may change.

  2. In a Section 202/8 or a Section 811 PRAC double-occupancy room, the rent and assistance payments are calculated as if each tenant occupied a separate unit each with a rent equaling half of the contract rent or operating cost for the unit. If one resident moves out, the TTP and assistance payment calculations for the remaining resident remain the same. The other half of the unit is treated like a vacant unit: there is no assistance payment but the owner may be eligible for vacancy loss claims for the vacated half of the unit.
