AS 18.55.130. Qualifications of Tenants and Maximum Number of Rooms.

(a) In the operation or management of low-cost housing projects, the corporation shall from time to time establish rents and requirements for admission of tenants to its low-cost housing projects in each municipality in which low-cost housing projects of the corporation are located. The rents and requirements for admission are subject to the approval of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

(b) Except in the case of leased housing as provided in 42 U.S.C. 1437f, the corporation shall fix the income limits for occupancy of its low-cost housing projects and rents that are approved by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development after taking into consideration

(1) the family size, composition, age, physical handicaps, and other factors that might affect the rent-paying ability of the family; and

(2) the economic factors that affect the financial stability and solvency of the project.

(c) Rents and requirements for admission to low-cost housing projects as provided in (a) and (b) of this section must be so established that a gap of at least 20 percent, except in the case of an elderly family or displaced family or in the case of leased housing under 42 U.S.C. 1437f, will be left between the upper rental limits for admission to low-cost housing projects of the corporation and the lowest rents at which private enterprise unaided by public subsidy is providing housing substantially similar to the low-cost housing projects of the corporation.

(d) The corporation may not rent more than the minimum number of rooms that it considers necessary to provide safe and sanitary accommodations without overcrowding.

(e) Nothing in this section or AS 18.55.120 limits the power of the corporation to vest in an obligee the right to take possession of a housing project or have a receiver appointed free from the restrictions imposed by this section or AS 18.55.120 in case of default by the corporation.
