(4) The cost of rent in these apartment units shall be set at a rate of $0.25 per block per day, not including vertical blocks. Example: a room with a base of 5x8 and height of 3 would have a rent price of $10 per day.
(5) Renters may rent out Public Housing units for a maximum of 72 hours at a time to prevent inactive renting.

The Federal Government may request that the Town contribute to the cost of building and/or maintaining the Public Housing, and may offer the Town a portion of the revenue generated by the Public Housing. Deals for Public Housing geographically located within Towns or within 100 blocks of a Town require the mutual consent of both the Federal and Town Governments and the terms of these deals may vary on a case by case basis.
(7) Towns are free to establish their own Public Housing programs within their own jurisdictions by whatever means they themselves establish without approval from the Federal Government.
(8) Federal Land geographically located within Towns shall be exempt from the Town build height limit.
