Section 8 - Recertification and Lease Date Mismatch

[Frank M.]

Hi All! Quick question: the recertification date (time to get approval from HA for rental price increase) and the lease start/end for the renter do not align. The recertification is July 1 (day rent would be increased) but the current lease does not end until September 30th. Can I legally charge the renter more than what is on the existing lease if the HA approves a recertification/rental increase for a July 1 start? Could I make a new lease to align with the recertification? Or would I have to wait for the lease to end to be able to charge the higher rent? Thank you in advance! -Franc
