Benefits and Responsibilities

One huge benefit of being a landlord in the Housing Choice Voucher Program is that you will have a stable stream of rental income. You are protected from financial loss if your tenant suffers unexpected financial hardship. When this happens, the subsidy payment is increased to compensate for your tenant’s lower income.

Landlord Responsibilities Include:

  • Compliance with all of the owner’s obligations under the housing assistance payments (HAP) contract and the lease
  • Performing all management and rental functions for the assisted unit, including selecting a voucher-holder to lease the unit, and deciding if the family is suitable for tenancy of the unit
  • Maintaining the unit in accordance with the Housing Quality Standards (HQS), including performance of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance
  • Complying with equal opportunity requirements
  • Preparing and furnishing to the PHA information required under the HAP contract
  • Collecting the security deposit, the tenant rent, and any charges for unit damage by the family.
  • Enforcing tenant obligations under the dwelling lease
  • Paying for utilities and services that are not the responsibility of the family as specified in the lease
  • Allow reasonable modifications to a dwelling unit occupied or to be occupied by a disabled person
  • Complying with the Violence against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA) when screening prospective HCV tenants or terminating the tenancy of an HCV family (see 24 CFR Part 5, Subpart L; 24 CFR 982.310(h)(4); and 24 CFR 982.452(b)(1))
