Upon request of a housing owner, the Mayor will review for eligibility the application by a prospective tenant for rent supplement payments. If the application meets the requirements of this chapter, the Mayor shall issue a certificate of eligibility. The certificate shall state the amount of rent supplement to be paid monthly by the City to the housing owner on behalf of the qualified tenant. The payment shown in the certificate shall not, regardless of the tenant's household income, exceed 70 percent of the approved rent for the unit. No certificate of eligibility shall be issued where the amount of rent supplement payment would be less than 10 percent of such approved rent.
