United States First Circuit

Judgment for defendant in breach of contract action in which plaintiff-landlords allege that defendant wrongfully refused to grant plaintiffs certain annual increases in their Section 8 payments that subsidize low-income housing, is affirmed, where the overall limitation clauses in each of the housing assistance payments contracts allow defendant to withhold otherwise-automatic annual adjustments in contract rents where defendant determines, based on the formula prescribed by HUD, that further adjustments would result in material differences between contract rents and market rates.
