SECTION 8 rent below FMR

[Tom Server]

So I have a unit that is a section 8 tenant whos rent is under the FMR By 262 dollars.. Their lease is about to come up in August... Am I able to raise the new lease by 262 and put the unit at the FMR

Also, can I find out a head of time if the housing authority will pay it ? 

If not , I dont want to raise the rent, due to I dont want the tenant to have to pay.

any suggestions

In Massachusetts if a lease expires it automatically turns into month to month, so I this may depend on state. So here it would just continue with section 8 unchanged. If you miss that 60 days it really just pushes when the rent can actually change. I've had it to where section 8 was delayed on that rent change even with the proper 60 day timeline and they back paid the rent to me based on the adjustment.
