Rental Equivalence and Rents Sample Clauses

Rental Equivalence and Rents. There are two commonly accepted approaches for measuring the shelter value of owned homes. One is the user- cost approach. The other is rental equivalence. In simplistic terms, user costs are the costs of owning and maintaining a home minus the annual discounted expected capital gains that the owner will realize when he or she sells the home. Rental equivalence is what an owned home would rent for if it were available for rent in the rental market. Rental equivalence is a well-known approach and is used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in the computation of the Consumer Price Index. Instead of measuring the change in owner user costs, which tend to be volatile, BLS attributes the change in market rents to homeowner shelter costs. This approach is supported by research that BLS conducted in the 1990’s. Economists advising the plaintiffs’ and Government representatives prior to the Xxxxxxxxx settlement recommended that OPM adopt a similar approach for the COLA program, and the Xxxxxxxxx settlement and OPM regulations adopted pursuant to the settlement prescribe that OPM use a rental equivalence approach to estimate the ‘‘price’’ of homeowner shelter. Economic theory suggests that homeowners’’ estimates of the rental value of their homes will on average be higher than market rents for housing with equivalent observed characteristics (i.e., of equivalent observed quantity and quality). (See Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X., 1970. ‘‘The Market for ‘Lemons’: Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism,’’ The Quarterly Journal of Economics, MIT Press, vol. 84(3), pages 488–500.) Imperfect market knowledge on the part of potential renters’ and homeowners’ awareness of unobserved amenities of their homes cause owner rent estimates to be higher than market rents. In other words, the HF should be greater than one. The size of the HF, however, could vary between one or more COLA areas and the Washington, DC area if owned homes in some areas have more unobserved amenities than owned homes in other areas. Other factors could also affect owner rent estimates of the rental value of their homes, such as the owner’s limited knowledge of local rental markets. Although some owners might have an excellent knowledge of rental markets and the rental value of their homes, most owners have little reason to pay much attention to the rental market, and their estimates might well be less accurate. In fact, GPRES results suggest that homeowners often relied on their mortgage payments to est...
