Section 14-9812. RENT CALCULATIONS

 

9812.1For the purposes of the AYBL program only AYBL Tenant Rent will be calculated as thirty percent (30%) of the AYBL participants adjusted Unearned Income and the total income of any other non-AYBL participant(s) in the household, if any.  In the event that the amount calculated is less than zero dollars ($0), the rent charged will be zero dollars ($0). 

 

9812.2    At all Rewards Properties, DCHA will initially pay for all unit utilities.  As a means of preparing AYBL Families for homeownership, over the course of an AYBL Family’s Contract of Participation term, the AYBL Family payment of utilities will be phased according to a graduated schedule.  The following is the graduated schedule of utility payment responsibility that will be applied:

 

AYBL Participation Year	DCHA	AYBL Family
Year 1	100%	0%
Year 2	75%	25%
Year 3	50%	50%
Year 4	25%	75%
Year 5	0%	100%

 

 

9812.3DCHA will not provide a utility allowance for AYBL families.

 

9812.4 An AYBL Family is not subject to an eviction proceeding for failure to pay utilities pursuant to this Section; however, failure to pay utilities is a violation of the Contract of Participation; as such, the AYBL Family is subject to termination from the AYBL program.
