2.2 Rents for Restricted Units. Rents for Restricted Units shall be limited to Affordable Rents for households of the applicable income limit specified in Section 2.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no tenant qualifying for a Restricted Unit shall be denied continued occupancy of a unit in the Project because, after admission, such tenant's household income increases to exceed the qualifying limit for such Restricted Unit. A household which at initial occupancy qualifies in a particular income category shall be treated as continuing to be of such income category so long as the household's gross income does not exceed one hundred forty percent (140%) of the applicable income limit. In the event the gross household income of a household that qualified at the applicable income limit at initial occupancy exceeds the applicable income limit for a unit, that unit will continue to be considered as satisfying the applicable income limit if the unit remains Rent -Restricted. If upon recertification of tenant incomes, Owner determines that a tenant has a household income exceeding the maximum qualifying income for such tenant's unit as set forth in Section 2_1 ("Maximum Qualifying Income"), the tenant shall be permitted to continue to occupy the unit, and upon expiration of the tenant's lease and upon sixty (60) days' written notice, Owner may increase the rent for such unit to the lesser of one -twelfth of thirty percent (30%) of the tenant's actual household income or the fair market rent, and Owner shall rent the next available unit to a tenant whose household income does not exceed the applicable income limit in order to achieve the affordability requirements of this Agreement.
