(a) It may rent or lease the dwelling accommodations therein only to persons of low and moderate income.
(b) It may rent or lease to a tenant dwelling accommodations consisting of the number of rooms, but no greater number, which it deems necessary to provide safe and sanitary accommodations to the proposed occupants thereof, without overcrowding.
(c) It shall not accept any person or persons as tenants in any housing project if the person or persons who occupy the dwelling accommodations have, at the time of admission, an aggregate annual net income, less an exemption of $200 for each minor member of the family other than the head of the family and his or her spouse, in excess of 7 times the annual rental of the quarters to be furnished such person or persons; but the Authority may agree to conditions as to tenant eligibility or preference required by the Federal Government pursuant to federal law in any contract for financial assistance with the Authority. In computing the rental for this purpose of admitting tenants, there shall be included in the rental the average annual cost, as determined by the Authority, to occupants of heat, water, electricity, gas, cooking fuel, and other necessary services or facilities, whether or not the charge for such services and facilities is included in the rental.
