HUD Landlords & Facilities-
Any landlord that has participated in the Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly known as Section 8) knows that the amount of paperwork involved is incredible. There is a lot of important information that you need to know and it is not always easy to understand. Additionally, tenants have a lot of rights under the program and landlords have a lot of obligations in assuring the rights of the tenant are protected. Our staff understands these rights and obligations and can assist you through the process, ensuring that your practices are HUD compliant.
Housing Choice Voucher Program
- The Housing Choice Voucher Program is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development program that assists income eligible tenants by subsidizing their rent and utilities. Once a tenant has been accepted into the program, the tenant must remain in good standing for the assistance to continue. Common reasons for termination of assistance include failure to provide required information such as consent and verification forms, an increase in the ability to pay the full contract rent, or allowing ineligible people to live at the property. The termination of assistance does not mean that the tenant must move, but does mean that the rent is going to rise to the market rate. Participating landlords can also exercise their right to evict their tenants. When a landlord evicts a participating tenant, there are extra steps beyond Washington’s “forcible entry and detainer” requirements which must be followed to avoid future problems with the tenant under the program guidelines.
- If you are a HUD landlord, or are considering becoming a HUD landlord, contact Rental Recovery PS to discuss key compliance issues. There are many rules that participating landlords must follow, so do not let a simple oversight get in the way of dealing with a problem tenant.
Oftentimes Rental Recovery PS can save our client’s time and money prior to filing a lawsuit by simply facilitating Cr2A agreements between the parties, whether it is to pay and stay, or to set a move-out date, our attorneys understand the impact of unnecessary delays.
