1 60% AMI 11 $843 $106 $737
In the event that minor modifications to the gross rent, net rent, or utility allowance are required due to program modifications for compliance, the CITY is authorized to modify said rent schedule prior to initial occupancy.
If, at any point after initial occupancy, the property owner desires to increase the rents level for project units, the project owner shall submit, in writing, the proposed increase. This documentation shall identify the current gross rent, utility allowance, and net rent for the unit while identifying the proposed increased rate.
Additionally, the owners shall submit the project units (including street address and unit number) for the units in which the rent increase is being proposed.
The City of Bakersfield shall review the proposed increase in lieu of the project’s current utility allowance and applicable rent levels. If the rents are within the allowable LHTF rent limits, as determined by the HCD Multifamily Housing Program Guidelines Section 7312 and California Health and Safety Code 50053, the CITY shall approve the rent increases. However, if the rent increases are not within the allowable rent levels, the increase shall be denied.
When rent increases are proposed and approved/disapproved, both parties shall maintain documentation of the process.
