In addition, rents charged for the set-aside units cannot exceed established limits, which are adjusted annually.
A second condition of the loan is a Property Maintenance Agreement the owner must sign ensuring the proper maintenance of the property and its improvements. The site will be inspected at least annually to assess property upkeep.
