My landlord just slipped a notice through my door that my rent is going up to $480.00 from $432.00. I was afraid of that, as the prior year I had huge medical/dental expenses that I didn’t have this year.
This is good news because I didn’t lose my HUD housing assistance and have my rent go up to the market value of my apartment which is $860.00.
I have to pay $480.00. The government pays the difference from $860.00. You pay 30% of your income, but they knock off some for medical bills if you are disabled or elderly.
