"(6) This section does not apply if the rental agreement governs a subsidized tenancy. For the purposes of this subsection, "subsidized tenancy" means a tenancy where the amount of rent is based, in whole or in part, on a percentage of the income of the tenant or other circumstances specific to the subsidized household. However, "subsidized tenancy" does not include a tenancy where some or all of the rent paid to the landlord comes from a portable tenant-based voucher or similar portable assistance administered through a housing authority or other state or local agency, or a tenancy in affordable housing where maximum unit rents are limited by area median income levels and a tenant’s base rent does not change as the tenant's income changes."

(B) The tenancy is not a subsidized tenancy. For the purposes of this subsection, "subsidized tenancy" means a tenancy where the amount of rent is based, in whole or in part, on a percentage of the income of the tenant or other circumstances specific to the subsidized household. However, a "subsidized tenancy" does not include a tenancy where some or all of the rent paid to the landlord comes from a portable tenant-based voucher or similar portable assistance administered through a housing authority or other state or local agency, or a tenancy in affordable housing where maximum unit rents are limited by area median income levels and a tenant’s base rent does not change as the tenant's income changes."
