Staff is currently analyzing the potential rent increases due to the renovation of the The Metropolitan Apartments. However, HOC follows the Montgomery County Voluntary Rent Guidelines, which establish limits on guidelines regarding rent increases for existing residents (VGR Increase). If you stay in your unit or transfer to a comparable unit (e.g. same bedroom count, LIHTC or Market unit, etc.), your rent will not change and future rent increases will remain subject to the VRG.
