LUDINGTON, District Judge. The question raised on appeal in this case is whether fees
charged by lessors for lease terms shorter than one year are “rent” under Section 8 of the
Housing Act of 1937 (“Act”).1 Appellants Waleska Velez and Kimberly Hatcher, Plaintiffs
below, appeal the district court’s order denying their motion for summary judgment and granting
Appellee Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority’s (“CMHA”) motion for summary
judgment. Appellants argue that the district court incorrectly determined that the term “rent,” as
used in the Act and its accompanying regulations, does not encompass the fees charged by
lessors on short-term leases.
