Rent in seniors self-contained apartments is based on a rent-geared to income (RGI) formula. This means that rent is based on a percentage of the tenant’s adjusted income. In the case of a couple or two persons sharing a seniors self-contained apartment, the rent is based on the combined incomes of both. Rent is calculated at 30% of total gross income from all sources (i.e. pensions, investment income, etc.) with a maximum rate approved by the Governing Board (subject to review).
Heat, water, sewer, and garbage removal charges are included in the rent. Electricity, telephone and internet are the responsibility of the tenant. Parking and cable TV are changed as an additional fee. All tenants are responsible for insuring their personal possessions and for having liability insurance
