How to Become a Section 8 Landlord
There are many benefits for landlords who rent to Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher tenants. If you are a landlord interested in leasing to tenants with rental assistance, this guide will help you navigate the process step-by-step.
Before diving into everything, if you want to know more about how the Section 8 HCV program works, we recommend starting with our What is the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program? Guide.
While this program is aimed to help renters, it was also designed to benefit landlords as well. Most importantly for landlords, rent payments are split between tenants and the housing agency that manages the voucher. So, you can expect to receive timely payments from the local housing department every month for their share of rent.
Other key benefits include:
• The ability to request reasonable annual rent increases from the local housing agency.
• Free inspections that can identify maintenance needs before they become too severe.
• Gratification from providing affordable housing to renters with low incomes, who are in great need of this assistance.
Many landlords are aware of these benefits, but are still hesitant to rent to Section 8 tenants because of widespread myths about the program. Let’s spend some time addressing the facts:
• Section 8 tenants are no more likely to damage units or fail to pay rent than tenants without rental assistance. In fact, Section 8 tenants are typically steady, long-term residents who often live in their unit for several years.
• Your Section 8 tenants can be evicted for lease violations just the same as tenants without vouchers. Section 8 tenants are bound by the terms of their lease, just like any other tenant.
• Landlords are not required to rent to someone just because they have a Section 8 voucher. You may screen all tenants with your own background check, and deny them if they fail to meet your requirements. (Just be aware that in many areas of the country, you cannot deny a Section 8 tenant only because they have a voucher.)
If you are looking for an opportunity to rent to Section 8 tenants, start by reaching out to your local housing authority.
- Contact the local housing authority.
First, contact the local HUD Public Housing Agency (commonly called a housing authority), and let them know of your interest in renting to Section 8 tenants. The housing authority can provide details about the local process and what Housing Quality Standards (HQS) need to be met.
Housing authorities are not allowed to recommend a particular landlord or property to voucher holders. However, many housing authorities maintain a list of landlords who accept vouchers, and share this with their voucher households. The housing authority may also share access to websites or platforms used to advertise available units.
Many housing authorities have an office in the local area, but there are also many communities that are not served by a locally-based agency. This is often the case in rural areas. Depending on your area, you may have to reach out to a regional or state housing authority that serves your community.
You can use the Housing Authority Directory on Affordable Housing Online to find the agency that serves your area.
- Set rent that falls within area Fair Market Rents.
Now, it is up to you to set the monthly rent amount.
The Section 8 program does not dictate what rents landlords must charge. However, rents must fall at or below local Fair Market Rents (FMRs). This is the cost to rent a moderately priced dwelling in each housing market.
HUD updates FMRs for each state and metropolitan area annually. FMRs are set for different apartment sizes, ranging from efficiencies to four-bedroom units.
The local housing authority will have the FMRs for its service area. You can also look up the current FMRs for your housing market using HUD’s FMR Documentation System.
- Make sure the unit meets Housing Quality Standards.
Housing authorities need to make sure that HCV tenants will be living in homes that are safe, sanitary, and in good condition. HUD has Housing Quality Standards (HQS) that must be met before an HCV tenant can rent an apartment.
You can get details about meeting HQS from the local housing authority. HQS inspections will assess the following items:
• Sanitary facilities
• Food preparation and refuse disposal
• Space and security
• Thermal environment
• Illumination and electricity
• Structure and materials
• Interior air quality
• Water supply
• Lead-based paint
• Access
• Site and neighborhood
• Sanitary conditions
• Smoke detectors
The housing authority will inspect the unit before completing a rental assistance agreement with the landlord. Once the Section 8 tenant moves in, HQS inspections will be done annually.
- Review applications from Section 8 tenants.
You would screen Section 8 tenants the same as you would an applicant without a voucher. This includes common things like checking rental or criminal histories. You should use the same criteria for all applicants to avoid renting to problem tenants.
Once a Section 8 tenant’s rental application is approved, you will need to fill out their Request for Tenancy Approval form.
The housing authority will confirm the rent falls within area FMRs. The housing authority will also make sure the rent charged is not higher than rent for any comparable unassisted units at the property.
- Sign the HAP contract and start receiving rent payments!
Once a lease is signed with the Section 8 tenant and is submitted to the housing authority, you will receive a Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract to sign.
When the HAP contract with the housing authority is executed, you will start receiving housing assistance payments from the housing authority. Section 8 tenants will separately pay you their own portion of the rent.

Low-Income Housing Without A Waiting List
Due to the high demand and low supply of affordable housing, it’s extremely rare to find affordable housing with no waiting list. But it’s possible to find housing assistance quickly if you know what to look for.
Tips to receive housing assistance quickly:
- Apply to multiple waiting lists for different low-income rental assistance programs.
- Take advantage of the mobility feature of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and apply for waiting lists anywhere in the United States.
- Target waiting lists with preferences you qualify for. Qualifying for preferences will give you priority placement on waiting lists.
- Use Affordable Housing Online for Housing Choice Voucher and Low-Income Apartment Waiting Lists
- Sign up for the Affordable Housing Online Newsletter to get waiting list opening notifications sent directly to your email
Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV)
Waiting lists to apply for this program open infrequently, and usually for a short time. If a household is able to get their application placed on the waiting list, the time it takes to get to the top of the waiting list could be months or years. The HCV program is in extremely high demand, and Affordable Housing Online has never discovered an area with a HCV program that has no waiting list.
Consider applying to HCV programs operated by Public Housing Agencies (PHAs, or housing authorities) in rural or small towns. Many of those areas will have shorter waiting lists, if it is open for applicants.
Be aware: You must be willing to move into their rural or small town jurisdictions for the first year of using your Housing Choice Voucher, and be in good standing at the end of the first year in order to move somewhere else with the voucher.
Note: Some PHAs set aside a small number of special Housing Choice Vouchers that are given to certain populations (like victims of domestic violence and homeless persons) without entering a waiting list.
And in other instances, a housing authority give some vouchers to persons living in toxic units (which contain lead paint, asbestos, radon, etc…); or in unhealthy units.
These special vouchers are not available to the general public, and may require a referral from a participating organization.
Section 8 Project-Based Vouchers (PBV)
A Section 8 Project-Based Voucher (PBV) is different from the HCV program, in that the voucher is tied to a specific apartment complex. A Project-Based Voucher cannot be transferred to a different property.
Waiting lists for Project-Based Vouchers are usually administered by the local HUD housing authority. Some PBV waiting lists might be administered by a property management company working with the housing authority.
Almost all Project-Based Voucher properties have a waiting list. Some properties in low-populated areas may have immediate availability, but that is rare.
Public Housing
Public Housing properties also offer rental assistance that’s tied to a specific apartment complex. Like Project-Based Vouchers, Public Housing assistance cannot be transferred to another property.
Waiting lists are either administered by a HUD housing authority, or a partnering property management company. As with PBVs, almost all Public Housing properties have a waiting list. On rare occasions, some properties in some rural areas may have no waiting list.
Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD)
RAD properties are Public Housing developments that were renovated with Section 8 program funding. Anyone on the property’s original Public Housing waiting list stays on the list, and current residents get first dibs for a RAD unit.
HUD housing authorities are actively converting our Public Housing stock to RAD housing nationwide. To find RAD housing without a waiting list right now might be difficult and not worth the time and effort.
Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA)
The PBRA program is directly administered by HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing. The PBRA program is tied to specific units in a property, usually owned and managed by private owners. Some PBRA properties are operated by the local housing authority.
On rare occasions, you may find a PBRA property with no waiting list, but generally only in rural areas.
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)
The LIHTC program is currently financing 90% of all new low-income housing developments. Private management companies and individual owners usually manage these communities; and some are managed by a housing authority.
There may be some LIHTC properties in areas with low populations that have no waiting list.
Rural Development (RD) Housing
Unlike most HUD programs, many apartments funded through Rural Development rental assistance programs may have a very short waiting list; or none at all.
These communities usually have a private owner or management company; but some are associated with housing authorities.
Households with the lowest incomes are given priority, so that means if you have very low or no income, you will get a chance to move into an apartment before other applicants.
Senior Housing and Housing for Persons with Disabilities
Many affordable housing developments are built for senior and/or disabled residents. In most cases, the head of household (or spouse) must be 62 and over, or have a certifiable disability. There are also “Near-Elderly” properties, which are usually for tenants at least 55 years old.
You may find Senior/Disabled properties with no waiting list in some low populated areas. And even if there is a wait, it may be shorter than other low-income rental assistance waiting lists.

HUD launches online help for domestic violence survivors
February 8, 2023Chris Holden
Top Story: HUD launches online help for domestic violence survivors
HUD has recently launched a new webpage with resources for domestic violence survivors, under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
The site has resources explaining VAWA’s housing protections for survivors of domestic violence. In addition, the site has resources for organizations that operate shelters and provide services for domestic violence survivors.
The VAWA site also has information to assist survivors immediately. It provides national hotlines and a list of organizations that can help survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. The national hotlines and organizations can direct survivors to local organizations and services.

How to Find House Sitting Jobs and Get Paid to Sleep in Someone Else’s House
Contributor
UPDATED AUGUST 30, 2022

Instead of forking over a small fortune every month for rent, what if you could get someone to pay you to live in their house?
Housesitting is a gig that could provide you with weeks or even months of free housing. In some cases, the free housing is the “pay” you receive (think of it as the money you are not paying toward rent). But, there are also paying housesitting gigs, and there are numerous websites specifically created to match available housesitters with housesitting jobs both within the U.S. and internationally.
Often, housesitting jobs include more than just sitting around someone else’s house. Most often, additional duties include caring for pets and plants, although they can include maintenance and cleaning, too.
Before you start packing your bags, here’s what you need to know about housesitting jobs.
How to Become a Housesitter
You know the old saying: you can’t get a job without experience, and you can’t get experience without a job.
While it is possible to get a first-time housesitting job, the competition for such positions is fierce. There are a lot of people who like the idea of living for free in someone else’s home. So, it would behoove you to get some experience.
Consider your social network. Let friends, family and coworkers know you are thinking about becoming a housesittter, and ask them to give you an opportunity to prove yourself, along with a recommendation that will help you get your next position.
Since you are just starting out, you are not likely to be offered money for a housesitting job right away, but this is a good opportunity to get referrals and experience.
If no one you know speaks up, you can get a first-time job on a housesitter website (we’ll give you some options later), but you had best be ready to answer key questions and provide significant skills to get selected.
Can I Get Paid to Be a Housesitter?
You are already getting paid in kind. You have free housing. But, some jobs are extensive enough in terms of care that you will be offered a stipend. It is also possible to be rewarded for doing a good job with a tip at the end of the stay.
How Much Money Can You Make With Housesitting Jobs?
The
Economic Research Institute says the average housesitter salary in paid gigs is $15 an hour, although
care.com says most paid rates are negotiated between homeowner and housesitter, and can be up to $100 a day or more. Homeowners looking for more than just a human watchdog are likely to offer a salary for the period they will be gone from home.
Can You Have Another Job When You’re a Housesitter?
As a housesitter, you are effectively replacing the homeowner as a presence in the home. The homeowner likely has a job, or some responsibility that takes them away from the home from time to time. You can, too. It might work best if you have a part-time job to ensure your availability However, circumstances might allow you to have a full-time job and housesit as well.
PRO TIPIf there’s a reliable internet connection, working remotely is one way to earn extra money while you’re housesitting. Check out our
work-from-home jobs portal for opportunities.
How to Find Housesitting Jobs
If you’re going to make the leap to housesitting on a regular basis, you’ll likely need to rely on more than word of mouth. There are numerous websites offering housesitting jobs, although you can also go it alone.
Most of the sites require a subscription, since you are likely going to need to move from job to job over time and will reuse the site. Many also require a
background check. Here are some options to consider when looking for housesitting jobs.
Advertise Yourself
You may be able to get a housesitting job without paying for a website subscription, but it will require substantially more work on your part, including advertising, setting up payments and vetting clients. If you do go the solo route, consider starting on sites where homeowners may use to seek out someone who is local, like Craigslist and Nextdoor.
Use Housesitting Subscription Sites
The value of subscription services is that homeowners and pet owners are on these sites actively seeking someone to care for their home or loved one. Housesitters can find job offerings and contact the homeowners who have a listing that works for them. They can choose between homeowners looking for free housesitting services and those who are willing to pay.
- House Sitters America ($49 per year) Job seekers can provide their services free or for a fee on this site. You can search for jobs on the site, or create a profile that will attract homeowners to you.
- Housecarers.com ($50 per year) Your profile can include up to 14 photos of yourself, effectively creating a 15-page personal website for your housesitting services. You can preselect areas or types of jobs you are looking for before receiving matching job opportunities.
If You Want to Take Your Housesitting Abroad
What if you could use your housesitting gig to see the world?
Other than travel restrictions placed by the country you are visiting, there are no restrictions for being a housesitter in international settings. But it makes sense to also research the country you’ll be staying to ensure you can adhere to local customs and restrictions. Some sites to use if you want an international gig:
- Mind My House ($20 per year) More than one-third of the listings on Mind My House are for the United Kingdom and Europe, while 30% are American listings.
- Luxury House Sitting ($25 per year) This is a worldwide service, with listings in the U.S., Europe, parts of South America, Australia, and a few countries in Africa and Asia. The newest housesitting gigs pop up as you sign into your account.
- Trusted House Sitters ($129 per year). This is another service that offers worldwide opportunities. Job seekers get to list the dates they need housing and the locations they are willing to travel to.

What to Include in Your Housesitter Profile
Homeowners are looking for a trustworthy person to take care of their home, possessions and potentially their animal babies. A few of the top traits you should be able to demonstrate in your profile when looking for a housesitting job:
- Reliability. Homeowners are not going to give their house keys to just anyone. They need to know they can count on you to stay in the house, keep it clean, not throw any parties and pay attention to detail. Recommendations from previous housesitting clients or current employers can speak to your reliability. Multiple references and reviews can help you stand out.
- Availability. One of your main jobs as a housesitter is to make sure the home looks occupied to help prevent burglary or vandalism. That means you will be a constant presence on the property. You don’t have to stay there 24/7, but you have to occupy the home the way the homeowner would. Be clear about how your availability, including whether housesitting will be your sole job or if you’ll work outside the home.
- Home care skills. Can you unclog a toilet? Adjust a thermostat? Water plants regularly? In some cases, you will be asked to be a temporary caretaker rather than just a body occupying a space.
- Cleanliness. Part of your job may be to keep the house clean. If there isn’t a separate cleaning service, you may need to wash dishes (or use a dishwasher), clean toilets, sweep, vacuum and dust.
- Love of animals. Many homeowners want a housesitter just to take care of their dog, cat, rabbit, fish or bearded dragon. Duties can include taking the animal for a walk, feeding on a regular schedule and cleaning up after them. Photos of you with your own pet (or a friend’s pet) will help in your job profile.
- Specialty skills. Do you have any training to set you apart (and demand a higher rate), such as being certified in pet CPR?
Learn From Every Housesitting Job
Once you get a few housesitting jobs under your belt, you will get an idea of what gigs are available. This may cause you to reconsider, or it may cause you to expand your parameters for housesitting.
There are people who travel all over the world, moving from one housesitting assignment to another. Why shouldn’t it be you?

***********************************************
As I search for rentals throughout our state, I look for certain criteria:
1. I have decided to not list so many houses for rent, as apartments, in most cases do include heat. Please keep in mind that winter is at our door-step and the cost of heating is on the rise. The monthly rental may seem a bit higher priced, however, it will be worth it in the long-run.
2. I will not list housing that requires a fee for their service, nor a fee per call. I do agree with a fee, however for the back-ground and/or credit check, THE FEE IS APPROPRIATE, since those companies providing the background check and credit check do charge a fee for their services.
3. I will do my best to keep the maximum rental amount within the cost of living to your area, however, if Section 8 or TRA is accepted the rental amount may be more because there are times when the utilities are included.
4. I will not list without the rental amount included
5. I try not to list rental opportunities that offer “Option to Buy” – I have found that in most of these situations it does not work out properly for either party involved. I am working on a “First Time Home Purchaser” list of programs from throughout the State, that operates in an official capacity to help those that are working so diligently to raise their families and deserve to show something for their hard, hard work.
