Why do you want to be a landlord in the Housing Choice Voucher program?
(1) Rental assistance payments are paid on a timely basis.
Your rent check for our portion of assistance will arrive on the First of every month (June rent is paid on June 1st, etc.),
(2) While it is your responsibility to screen the tenant you select, we do complete some screening to ensure eligibility for our program based on criminal history and prior tenancy. As in the case of any other tenant you would rent to, it is still your responsibility to do credit, criminal, or any other reference checks you normally conduct.
(3) You may deny any prospective tenant (within the law) who does not pass the credit, criminal or reference checks that you contact.
(4) The Housing Agency performs annual housing inspections to ensure the home is safe, decent and sanitary. Items needing correction by the landlord are the responsibility of the landlord; those of the tenant are the responsibility of the tenant.
(5) Landlord/tenant disputes that cannot be resolved between the tenant and landlord can, on occasion, be mediated by the Housing Agency.
