New Rent Ceiling Formula Aims For Fair Net Income
Washington AP reports a new federal formula for rent ceilings, designed to ensure a fair net operating income of 25 to 30 percent on 14 million federally controlled dwellings. It avoids an across the board hike, leaving decisions to landlords and tenants with area rent offices as referees. Small landlords may raise rents to 30 percent if net income is under 25 percent of gross. large landlords may raise to 25 percent if net is under 20 percent. How many rents will increase remains unclear.
