Rent

Rent Preview

The rent preview appears in The Assignment/Unassignment Process and The Move-In Process for a rental unit. This widget displays the rent using the rent calculation set up for the housing authority unless a fixed rent applies to an individual tenant or applicant.

Auto-Posting of Rent

Rent is automatically posted on the 1st of every month, for programs that have the auto-post option set during setup. This amount is posted to every household’s Tenant Accounts Receivable, found in the Tenant Ledger.

Pro-Rating Rent

Pro-rating rent is done upon either move-in or move-out. Proration takes the date of move-in/out and calculates the amount that would apply if moving in, for example, during the middle of the month. This is done so by subtracting the amounts for days the tenants would not be living in the unit. A credit/debit adjustment will automatically be posted after the action is completed. Note: Pro-Rated rent will calculate and charge the exact amount for the number of days the tenant will be living/lived in the unit by default. The Pro-Rated rent can be set to be rounded Up to the nearest dollar, Down to the nearest dollar, or the nearest dollar. This can be done by going to the Feature Configuration options found under Configuration in the User drop-down menu.

TTP

TTP stands for total tenant payment, and more often than not, a TTP worksheet is included in many household actions within Doorways. Rent calculations are performed based upon the rules and common practices of your housing authority, and the tenant’s income/assets/expenses, to offer an individualized total tenant payment amount.

NAHASDA 30% Rule

NAHASDA stands for the  Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act which was enacted in 1996. The Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA) reorganized the system of housing assistance provided to Native Americans through the Department of Housing and Urban Development by eliminating several separate programs of assistance and replacing them with a block grant program. The two programs authorized for Indian tribes under NAHASDA are the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) which is a formula-based grant program and Title VI Loan Guarantee which provides financing guarantees to Indian tribes for private market loans to develop affordable housing.

In short, this act/rule states, if true, that no tenant shall pay rent that is more than 30% of their adjusted annual income. Even if, at the program/project/unit level the TTP is more than 30%, NAHASDA will override.
