The HUD Section 8 Renewal Policy Guidebook requires that HUD obtain and review Rent Comparability Studies (RCSs) when an owner's RCS exceeds 110 percent of a threshold established by the Department. The market rents resulting from these studies determine the rents owners can receive and, hence, greatly influence whether an owner will renew and continue providing project-based assisted housing or opt-out of the Section 8 contract and convert to unassisted, market rent housing. The market rents set in these studies also drive HUD's outlays for Section 8 project-based subsidy.
