The participating jurisdiction must require that rent plus the utility allowance stays within the HOME rent limit
home.ua.rent_approved_net_of_the_allowance · v1.0.0
The participating jurisdiction must review and approve the rents an owner proposes, and for every unit subject to the HOME rent limits for which the tenant pays utilities and services, the PJ must require that the rent does not exceed the applicable rent limit MINUS the monthly allowances for utilities and services. The approval is annual: owners must provide occupancy and rent information each year and the PJ must review rents for compliance and approve or disapprove them every year.
24 CFR 92.252(e)(3) requires at least 60 days' written notice to tenants before any rent increase takes effect, which interacts with a utility allowance that falls: a lower allowance raises the permitted rent, but the notice period still has to run.
