How
Much Will it Cost Me?
The cost of rent
at the Withington West Elderly Apartments is different for every resident
that lives there. That's because your rent is customized to fit your
own personal budget. Each resident pays 30% of their "adjusted"
income as rent. "Adjust" income is the amount of income an
individual has after medical expenses have been deducted.
The Housing Commission will supply gas and water for each resident.
You will have a small electric bill each month; however, the Housing
Commission will deduct amount off your monthly rent to compensate for
electric expense.
ALSO, if your income
ever decreases so will the cost of your rent.
