A.
The rent for any unit on the subsidy program will be
the maximum allowed under the program (hereinafter "subsidy rent"). It will
be exempt, only while under the subsidy program, from the fixed-percentage
annual increase.
B.
Each year on the anniversary date of the lease, the subsidy
rent will be fixed at the maximum allowed by the subsidy program.
C.
If the subsidy is canceled or not renewed by the landlord or tenant, the rent for that unit shall be the base rent as determined in the definition of "base rent for existing rental unit" in § 235-4, plus any allowable increases to which the landlord was entitled during the time that the subsidy rent applied. The unit is then subject to the fixed annual percentage increases established by this chapter.
