(a) State-owned housing units consist of:
houses, apartments, dormitories, mobile homes, trailers, mobile home pads and
trailer spaces. The Department shall be the final authority for determining the
monthly rental and utility rates for all state-owned housing. However, the
Department may delegate the rate setting authority to appointing powers that
possess state-owned housing units.
(b) The Department may review and adjust the
monthly rate of any state-owned housing unit when there is evidence presented
that the prescribed monthly rate is inequitable.
(c) At the direction of the Department, and
pursuant to its delegation of such statutory authority, the appointing powers
shall review the monthly rental and utility rates every year and report the
rates to the Department.
(d) When
essential housing is substandard, the appointing power may reduce the rental
rate.
(1) Housing is essential if an employee
is required to live in the unit for the protection of state property or a
closely related purpose.

Essential housing is substandard when at least one of the following conditions
exists:
(A) Privacy: the normal household
routine is repeatedly interrupted.
(B) Reliability and adequacy of utility
service: light, heat and/or water are not available in sufficient quantities
throughout the year to permit a normal household routine.
(C) Overall size: residence is inadequate for
or far exceeds employee's needs.
(D) Disturbing noises or offensive odors: the
normal household routine is repeatedly interrupted.
(E) Overall design: inconvenient arrangement
of living quarters.
(F) Seasonal
inaccessibility: the employee may leave the premises only if willing to travel
under dangerous conditions during a typical season.
(G) Extreme isolation: the residence is
located at least 50 miles or one hour travel time from the nearest community of
at least 2,500 population.
(e) Monthly space rental for a
privately-owned trailer or mobile home shall be at least $12 per
month.
(f) Notwithstanding the
other provisions of this section, the monthly charge for a housing unit shall
