  • Ensure residents receive the exclusions and deductions to which they are entitled

  • Accurately calculate Tenant Rent

  • Provide tenants a copy of lease agreement and income and rent determinations

  • Recalculate rent when changes in family composition are reported

  • Recalculate rent when resident income decreases

  • 30% of the family’s monthly adjusted income less the Utility Allowance

  • 25% of the family’s monthly adjusted income

  • Basic Rent

  • But not more than Market Rent

A Utility Allowance is approved by HUD when the cost of all or a portion of the utilities (except telephone) is not included in the unit rent and payment for the utilities is the responsibility of the family occupying the unit.

The utility allowance is not meant to pay all actual utility costs, but rather it is an allowance provided to the family to assist them in payment of their utility expenses.
