- Rent increases require County approval (Oakland Redevelopment Agency)
- Recert consequences: HOME, HOPE VI (HUD), CalHFA requires action for households exceeding their qualifying limit at recert
- Occupancy consequences: There is no required action if units are over or under occupied
- Security Deposits: For HOPE VI unit, deposits are equal to the tenant's rent portion; for all other units, deposits are equal to one month's rents
- Section 8: Contract rents can exceed the maximum gross rents
- Rent increases occur annually in July
- TCAC, AHP and CalHFA use MTSP/HERA limits; Oakland Redevelopment Agency, HOPE VI, Oakland Housing Authority and HUD use HUD limits; HOME uses HOME limits
