If a landlord is required to limit the amount of income to a multiple of only the tenant's portion of the rent he/she is assured that this person will NOT be able to afford the rent and everything else they must pay - i.e. utilities, clothing, food, insurance, gas, etc.  If the actual rent for an apt is $1,000, EVERY applicant must show sources of income = $3,000.  A voucher holder who will only pay $250 of that amount, must, under this proposed rule, show income of $750.  If that is the case, then after they pay rent they only have $500 a month to live on - $15 per day.  That is impossible.  Their only choice will be to not pay their rent.  This rule violates the VRLTA.  It also violates Fair Housing laws which require that everyone be treated the same.  This proposed rule would mean that everyone else besides voucher holders would be held to a standard, traditional, legitimate business criteria.  This proposed rule is on its face an illegitimate business practice and a violation of VA Fair Housing Laws.  This rule must not be passed as written.  It is dangerous and a threat to the rental housing industry in Virginia.
