§201G-235 Determination of eligibility of occupants and rental charges. (a) For purposes of carrying out this subpart, the corporation shall establish criteria and procedures for determining the eligibility of occupants and rental charges, including criteria and procedures with respect to periodic review of tenant incomes and periodic adjustment of rental charges. The corporation shall issue, upon the request of a housing owner, certificates as to the income of the single persons and families applying for admission to, or residing in, dwellings of that owner.

(b) Procedures adopted by the corporation hereunder shall provide for recertification of the incomes of occupants, except elders, at intervals of two years, or at shorter intervals, for the purpose of adjusting rental charges and annual payments on the basis of occupants' incomes, but in no event shall rental charges adjusted under this subpart for any dwelling exceed the fair market rental of the dwelling.

(c) No payments under this subpart may be made with respect to any property for which the costs of operation, including wages and salaries, are determined by the corporation to be greater than similar costs of operation of similar housing in the community where the property is situated.
