11 agos 1984 año - Income-related rents for state tenants - restarts

Descripción:

For state tenants, the “fair rent” provisions (that had applied since 1955) were replaced with an income-related rental formula under which high income earners would pay market rents for state housing. Rents were set at 25 percent of income (of the principal income earner and his or her spouse) up to the market rent.
Other income-earning adults in the household were charged a boarding fee.
