Low Income Tenant definition

Low Income Tenant means a tenant occupying a Low Income Unit.
Low Income Tenant means a Tenant who, when the Tenant originally occupied the Unit, had an Income qualifying as Low- Income. For so long as the Tenant occupies the particular Unit [or another unit in the same building], the Tenant will remain a Low-Income Tenant if the Tenant's Income, upon the most recent income certification, does not exceed 140% of Low- Income.
Low Income Tenant means any tenant (i) whose Adjusted Income does not exceed limits determined in a manner consistent with determinations of low income families under Section 8 of the Housing Act, provided that the percentage of median gross income that qualifies as low income shall not be greater than sixty percent (60%) of median gross income for the Area, with adjustments for family size, and (ii) whose income does not exceed the qualifying limits for low income families as established and amended from time to time pursuant to Section 8 of the Housing Act. If all the occupants of a unit are students (as defined under Section 151(e)(4) of the Code), no one of whom is entitled to file a joint return under Section 6013 of the Code, such occupants shall not qualify as Low Income Tenants. The determination of a tenant’s status as a Low Income Tenant shall be made by the Owner upon initial occupancy of a unit in the Project by such tenant, on the basis of an Income Certification executed by the tenant, and annually thereafter.
