The majority holds, correctly, that § 1437f(t) gives Section
8 tenants a “right to remain” in their subsidized apartments
after the transition to the enhanced voucher program. But the
majority fails to recognize the extent of that right. Under the
enhanced voucher program, Defendants have the right to raise
the total rent on apartments to fair market value. In return,
tenants have the right to remain in their apartments. The ten-
ants’ right to remain is a practical, common-sense right. It is
a statutory right to remain in their apartments while paying
the same amount of out-of-pocket rent as before. The
enhanced vouchers implement this part of the right. It is also
a statutory right to remain in their apartments while enjoying
the same level of maintenance and service as before. The
HAP contracts implement this part of the right.
