(B)(i) With respect to multifamily rental developments that are not mobilehome parks, the rental payments on the units required for occupancy by very low income households paid by the persons occupying the units (excluding any supplemental rental assistance from the state, the federal government, or any other public agency to those persons or on behalf of those units) shall not exceed 30 percent of an amount equal to 50 percent of area median income. If the nonprofit organization elects to establish a base rent for all or part of the units for lower income households and very low income households, the base rents shall be adjusted for household size.
