Appendix 9-6

Request to Renew Using Non-Section 8 Units in the Section 8 Project
as a Market Rent Ceiling

Project Name: __________________
FHA Project No: ________________

Section 8 contract No (s):

_______________
_______________

I am asking to renew the above Section 8 contract(s) under Option 2 (Chapter Four of this
Guide), using the non-Section 8 units in that project as a market rent ceiling instead of
performing a traditional rent comparability study. The top half of the attached table compares
the current and proposed Section 8 rents with the rents paid by tenants not receiving tenant rental
assistance. The bottom half of the table shows how the proposed Column D rents were
computed. The applicable OCAF or budget worksheet is attached to the table.
I certify that:
1. The above contract(s) is eligible to be renewed under Option 2 of this Guide.
2. At least 25% of each unit type being renewed is occupied by tenants who pay the full rent due
the owner and receive no tenant rental assistance. “Tenant rental assistance” includes projectbased Section 8, certificates / vouchers, PRAC/PAC in a 202/811 project, Rent Supplement,
Rental Assistance (RAP), or any comparable federal/state/ other public subsidy.
3. For each unit type being renewed, the proposed Section 8 contract rent is no more than the
average rent tenants not receiving rental assistance pay for that unit type. The average rent for
each unit type is shown on the attached table. Units and rents used to compute the average
rent are identified on the attached rent roll.
4. Units used to compute Paragraph 3’s average rent have been paying (without assistance and
for three or more months) at least the rent levels used in computing the average. These units
do not receive rental concessions or rebates and tenants in these units have no business or
family relationship with the project’s ownership or management.
5. The Section 8 units and the units occupied by tenants not receiving tenant rental subsidies are
nearly identical. They have the same number of bedrooms & baths; are similar in condition,
layout & size; and have the same amenities & utilities included in the rent.

6. Occupancy rates in the units occupied by tenants not receiving tenant rental subsidies are not
significantly less than occupancy levels for those unit types in the project’s market area.
