How You Can Become a Section 8 Landlord Today It's easy to become a Section 8 landlord. There are no formal steps required. Once you screen your tenant, you will need to have your rental property inspected by the housing authority to ensure that it passes Section 8 housing standards. The certifying agency will also verify that the rent you are asking is reasonable when compared with similar units in the area. Once the inspection is complete, you'll finalize the paperwork and agree to a few simple terms set by the housing authority in your area. Some landlords only realize what is Section 8 when they are approached unexpectedly by a prospective tenant who is from the Section 8 program. However, you don't have to wait for Section 8 tenants to find you. Simply get in touch with the public housing authority in your area and tell them to you wish to make your rental property available to Section 8 tenants. You can also indicate in your advertisements that you are willing to accept Section 8 vouchers. Teo Zhenjie |
