Does 'Value' mean assessment or market value?
It reflects an estimated market value by the owner, not assessed tax value or recent sales price.
What does Gross Rent include?
Gross rent includes the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, and water and sewer) and fuels.
