Rent Increase Request Policy

The Rent Increase Policy applies to most OHCS-funded properties with rent restrictions and includes special provisions for properties funded through federal programs like HOME and the Housing Trust Fund (HTF), which require approval for any rent increase. By maintaining this policy, OHCS aims to provide predictability for property owners and managers while safeguarding affordability for affordable housing residents.
