Becoming
a Section 8 landlord is easy. If you have
or will have an available unit, call 385-6126,
ext. 301. Inform the staff person that you
would like your unit on the Section 8 available
list. Be prepared to provide the following
information:
· Address of the unit ·
Number of bedrooms · Monthly rent
· What utilities are provide by the
owner (if applicable) · What appliances
are provided by the owner
This information will be added to the appropriate
bedroom size list. The list is then made available
to all Section 8 Voucher holders. If interested,
the prospective tenants will contact you.
There is no charge to advertise your unit
with the Section 8 program.
Once your property is rented, either to
a Section 8 family or to a non-Section 8
family, please contact our office so we
can remove it from the list.
Screening of Section 8 tenants is the responsibility
of the owner. The owner may use whatever
screening procedures (reference check, credit
check, etc.) that he/she normally uses.
If known, THA will provide you with the
names and phone numbers of the tenant’s
two most recent landlords.
If you agree to lease your unit to a Section
8 tenant, your unit must pass the Housing
Quality Standards inspection.
