The Tenants argue on appeal that while THA's proposed conversion may not violate the individual metering regulations, it nonetheless is inconsistent with the Act itself. In support of their position the Tenants cite Fletcher v. Housing Auth. of Louisville, 491 F.2d 793 (6th Cir.), vacated, 419 U.S. 812, 95 S.Ct. 27, 42 L.Ed.2d 39 (1974), judgment reinstated on remand, 525 F.2d 532 (6th Cir.1975). In Fletcher, the housing authority had instituted a rent range formula that gave preference to applicants who could pay higher rents. 491 F.2d at 796-97. The court found that the housing authority was imposing eligibility criteria not authorized by Congress in the Act, id. at 804-05, and invalidated the rent range formula. Id. at 807-08.
