A1. Yes, PHAs must offer new admissions a choice of paying a flat rent or income-based rent at the time of admission. Q2: If a PHA does an interim change based on an increase in income (which does not qualify for an income disregard) that would result in the family paying an income-based rent that is higher than the flat rent, is the PHA required to give the family a choice in rent at that time? A2: A PHA is only required to offer a family a choice of rent annually, except in financial hardship cases described in 960.253(f).
