federalUnited StatesSection 8 Project-Based Voucher Programrent_limit
No rent increase may be approved or received until the owner has complied with the HAP contract including HQS
pbv.rent.increase_requires_hqs_compliance · v1.0.0
The PHA may not approve, and the owner may not receive, any increase of rent to owner until and unless the owner has complied with all requirements of the HAP contract, including compliance with HQS. The owner may not receive any retroactive increase of rent for any period of noncompliance. The exception is a unit undergoing development activity that complies with 983.157 or substantial improvement that complies with 983.212.
This is the sharpest financial consequence in part 983 for an owner: an unrepaired deficiency does not merely delay the increase, it forfeits it for the period of noncompliance.
