Affordable rental unit.
San José Municipal Code § 17.23.110
in effect17.23.110 - Affordable rental unit.
"Affordable Rental Unit" means each Rental Unit that is owned or operated by any government agency, or any individual Rental Unit for which the Rent is limited to no more than affordable rent, as such term is defined in California Health & Safety Code Section 50053, for lower income households pursuant to legally binding restrictions recorded for the benefit of a government agency. However, if the ownership or operation, or the Rent limitation ceases, then the Rental Unit will no longer be considered an Affordable Rental Unit. The presence of one (1) or more Affordable Rental Units in a Multiple Dwelling shall not exempt any other Rental Unit in the same building that does not also meet the definition of Affordable Rental Unit.
