This process is for properties requesting up to and including five percent increases on existing tenant rents. This notification can include a plan for bifurcation of rents for new tenants.

This process is for properties requesting greater than five percent (>5%) on existing tenant rent on ANY funding/unit type and can include a bifurcation of rents for new residents.

This request requires an elevated review to evaluate the higher impact to current tenants for approval.

Rent Increase Review (RIR) -Form

This process is for properties funded with OHCS HOME and/or Housing Trust Fund resources where Federal regulations require state and local agencies to approve rents annually, regardless of any increase.

This process can also include up to five percent (5%) increase in current rents with or without a bifurcation of new resident rents.

Any rent increase of greater than five percent (>5%) for any unit type MUST follow the Rent Increase Review (RIR) process.
