Section 246.6 - InitiationWhen a mortgagor determines that the permitted increase in rents as prescribed by the board will not provide a rent level necessary to maintain and operate adequately the project, and the mortgagor elects to request preemption under this subpart, it shall:
(a) File an application for whatever relief or redetermination is permitted under the State or local law and;(b) Notify: (1) The tenants in accordance with § 246.7 of this subpart,(2) the appropriate HUD office pursuant to § 246.8 , and(3) the board of the mortgagor's intention to file a request for preemption of local rent control regulation pursuant to the provisions of regulations in this subpart.
