Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.305, the Local Administrative Agency (LAA) or Developer is required to calculate each tenant's monthly rent contribution every year, using a fixed schedule that ties the payment amount to both the size of the unit and the tenant's annual income range. The contribution can rise at lease renewal if the tenant's income increases or if the Authority updates its income range thresholds. Tenants who report zero income pay nothing for 12 months following the loss of income, after which a minimum contribution based on unit size applies.

Operators subject to 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.305 generally conduct an annual review of each unit's tenant contribution, verifying current household income and applying the published bedroom-size schedule to set the correct fixed monthly amount. Compliant operators document income verification at each lease renewal and update contribution amounts whenever a tenant's reported income shifts to a new range or the Authority revises its income thresholds. Operators also track the 12-month zero-income grace period for affected tenants and transition those households to the minimum contribution tier on schedule.

Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.305, tenants have the right to have their monthly contribution calculated according to a fixed schedule based on their reported income and unit size, rather than at the discretion of the LAA or Developer. If a tenant experiences a total loss of income, the provision provides a 12-month period during which no contribution is owed, giving households time to stabilize before a minimum payment resumes. Tenants who believe their contribution has been calculated incorrectly may raise the issue with their LAA, contact the Illinois Housing Development Authority, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
