The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Housing Handbook on occupancy requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs indicates that the term "contract rent” constitutes the rent HUD authorizes an owner to collect for a unit occupied by a family receiving assistance. The handbook makes it clear that the contract rent may be paid by the tenant, HUD or both. It also asserts that the market rent is the same as the contract rent. (See, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Housing Handbook, 4350.3, § 3-23 [a], [b] [reprinted May 11, 1993]; see also, Low Income Housing Act, 42 USC § 1437f; 24 CFR 880.101 [c].)
