The basic requirement that the rentals in the development projects involved *654shall be reasonable stems from section 207(b)(2) of the National Housing Act. The court accordingly holds in a companion case, Marshall v. Lynn, No. 71-1786, 162 U.S.App.D.C. -, 497 F.2d 643, that the tenants irt projects developed under section 221 of the Act, providing for low or moderate income housing, shall be afforded an opportunity through written statements to contest proposals for rental increases. Yet the court denies this opportunity to tenants in projects developed under section 220 of the Act, which have the purpose of rehabilitating blighted areas. The rentals in those projects are also required to be reasonable, and I find no legal basis for depriving their tenants of the same opportunity accorded tenants in projects developed under section 221. In both situations the reasonable standard of section 207(b)(2) is carried forward by regulations or agreed arrangements between the Administrator and the developer. The regulations or arrangements, as the case may be, are established under the authority granted to the Administrator, by section 220(d)(2) in a section 220 project, and by section 221(d) (3) in a section 221 project.
