The Security Deposit charged may not exceed double the monthly rent of the unit. The requested deposit amount will vary with each owner.
Important note: The rent on the selected unit must meet the rent reasonableness test and be comparable with the unassisted units for the area. The family's initial portion of rent cannot exceed 40% of the family's adjusted monthly income.
