FAQ About Section 8

Section 8 tenants are just normal tenants with low-income. We perform a thorough background check, criminal record, eviction record and credit check on each tenant, and a quarterly inspection. They lose the voucher if not compliant.

Every year we can request rent increase based on inflation and based on the fair market rent. Often we get above 7% increase in our properties.

Section 8 tenants have standard leases. Section 8 tenants are treated like regular tenants and follow local and federal regulations and can be evicted normally if the lease agreement is broken

The government doesn’t pay for the security deposit, but landlords are allowed to charge up to 1 month of rent in security deposit

In most markets, excluding appreciated big cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, the Section 8 rents are 10-30% higher than regular market rate
