The rent index shall be subject to change every six months commencing with January 1 and July 1 of each year, and shall remain unchanged during each six-month period. The rent index shall be computed by taking the twelve-month average of the United States Housing Component of the Consumer Price Index-U for Rent (Residential) immediately preceding the beginning of each six-month period.
