HUD preemption and Rent Control Law are thus based on wholly separate economic concerns. HUD requires a local determination of maximum allowable rents as a prerequisite to HUD preemption; but only because of its general policy to “not interfere in the regulation of rents by a [local] rent control board.” (24 C.F.R. § 246.5.) HUD will not exercise its preemption power unless it perceives a need to protect itself not the owner of the mortgaged property, Because no aspect of HUD preemption acts to review, reverse, or permanently nullify the decision of a local rent control board, the HUD preemption rate is eliminated as a factor in the determination of rents once the basis of federal preemption has ceased to exist.
