Id. (codified at 42 U.S.C. § 1437f(t)(l)(B) (emphasis added)). By making the “payment standard ... equal to the rent for the dwelling unit,” the statute entitles a tenant with an enhanced voucher to have the federal government pay the difference between the designated percentage of the tenant’s income payable by the tenant and the market-rate rent for a dwelling unit where he or she resided, even where that amount exceeds the otherwise “applicable *1154payment standard.” Id. § 1437f(o)(l)-(2), (t)(l)(B). The total rent charged by the owner is subject to no specific limit except that it must “be reasonable in comparison with rents charged for comparable dwelling units in the private, unassisted local market.” Id. § 1437f(o)(10)(A).
