F. Assigning a Smaller Unit Than Required

An owner may assign a family to a smaller unit size than suggested by the owners’ occupancy policies if the family requests the smaller unit and if all of the following apply:

1. The family is eligible for the smaller unit based upon the number of family members, and occupancy of the smaller unit will not cause serious overcrowding;

2. Assigning a smaller unit results in a lower rent payment for the occupant in a Section 236 or BMIR property; and

3. The assignment will not conflict with local codes.
