The Landlord cannot raise the rent during the first year of the lease. The Landlord also MUST NOT charge the tenant any more than the amount designated by HCV (Section 8) as the tenant portion. After the first year of the lease, the Landlord may request an increase by giving a 60-day written notice to the tenant and the HCV (Section 8) office. A rent reasonableness analysis will be performed, and the Landlord and tenant will be notified whether the amount will be accepted.
