If you wish to rent to a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) family, and enjoy a number of benefits including lower vacancy rates, tenant stability, and free property inspections you should inform FCRHA of the availability of your property. Ultimately, it is the HCV family’s decision whether or not to rent your property. Of course, as the landlord, you would screen the HCV family just as you would any other prospective tenant. The following steps summarize the process to become a HCV landlord:
- Attend Owner Briefing (Recommended)
- Market your property with the FCRHA
- Complete and submit a Request for Tenancy Approval (RTA)
- Pass Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Inspection
- Complete suitability screening
- Execute lease and Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract
- Comply with HUD and FCRHA’s rules and regulations (enforce lease)
To advertise your unit for rent with the HCV program, submit the Listing Form via email, fax or mail.
