All “income based rent” in RI is subsidized by HUD. There are very specific rules about how you are allowed select tenants and you are allowed to deny by credit score (it’s dumb… I’m aware…) however the rent would not be “based” on your credit score as those do not show what you can pay, but that you DO pay your bills.

I believe OP is referring to the practice of requiring applicants demonstrate income equal to a certain multiple of rent to be eligible to rent an apartment.
