Rent Adjustments in the Mark-to-Market Program

Document 2024-04081 is a Final Rule published by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the Federal Register on February 28, 2024, with an effective date of March 29, 2024. The Mark-to-Market program preserves affordability and availability of affordable rental multifamily properties with federally insured mortgages, reducing rents to market levels by restructuring existing debt to levels supportable by these rents. This final rule revises the Mark-to-Market program regulations to clarify that annual adjustment of restructured rents under the program will be based on an operating cost adjustment factor determined by HUD and to further clarify when HUD may approve rent adjustments on a budget basis. This final rule will bring greater clarity to the Mark-to-Market program and will align HUD's regulations with recent legislative changes that specifically allow budget-based rent adjustments for the program.
