Guidance Document Is Not Consistent with Virginia Law
 

This guidance document seeks to define rent in a way other than what is listed in the VRLTA.  This guidance document promotes illegal discrimination by requiring that individuals be treated differently based on their source of income.  It demands that one class of "funds" requires a wholly separate treatment than other source of funds.  This document is  also incomplete in  that is does not address other types of funds such as gift letters, offer letters, etc.  It makes it difficult for the housing industry to qualify residents who can meet their other resident responsible utilities.  We need your help in providing a home for all.
