Appellants are tenants receiving subsidy payments under the voucher program.
Appellant Velez has participated in the program since February 4, 2012.                              Am. Proposed
Stipulations, ECF No. 26, Page ID 279. Appellant Hatcher has participated in the program since
July 1, 1999. Id. at 281. Both Appellants initially entered into one-year leases with third-party
defendant The K&D Group, Inc. (“K&D”). At the end of the one-year lease terms they renewed
their leases for terms less than one year. The standard lease designates “RENT” as a specified
amount to be paid per month. Id. at 293. The lease further provides: “If Resident(s) shall
holdover after the end of the term of this Rental Agreement, said holdover shall be deemed a
tenancy of month to month and applicable month to month fees shall apply.” Id. The lease does
not prescribe the amount of the month-to-month fee.                        K&D maintains a separate policy
establishing the month-to-month fee, id. at 280, and lessees are notified of the fee when K&D
issues lessees a “Lease Renewal Notice,” id. at 308.
