Now that you’re interested in potentially renting your unit to tenants through the Housing Choice Voucher program, we’ll walk you through the process of getting started:
 

PRE-LEASING

  • List Your Property with the FCRHA. To advertise your unit for rent through the Housing Choice Voucher program, email, fax or mail the  Housing Choice Voucher Listing Form to our office at:

    Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority
    3700 Pender Drive
    Fairfax, VA 22030
    FAX: 703-653-1383
    Email: DHCDhcvlistings@fairfaxcounty.gov

LANDLORD FORMS

  • Request for Tenancy Approval
  • Rent Reasonableness Assessment Data Sheet
  • Rent Increase Request
  • Signed Addendum to Request for Tenancy Approval
  • Internal Revenue Service Forms
  • W-9 Form Instructions
  • W-9 Form

    When you submit any forms/documents, please double check that the all the information is correct in order to avoid any possible delay due to wrong information. A staff member will contact you directly. 

Please note: IRS Form 1099

TENANT SELECTION

Landlords can select Housing Choice Voucher tenants in the same way they screen and select other tenants. If the landlord agrees to accept the program participant:

  • The landlord and tenant must complete the Request for Tenancy Approval Form and submit it to the FCRHA. The FCRHA will review the request, determine if the requested rent is "rent reasonable” and if the unit is affordable for the family.
  • If the above criteria are met, the FCHRA will conduct an initial Housing Quality Standards inspection.
  • Once the unit passes inspection:
    • The landlord and the tenant will sign the landlord’s lease agreement
    • The landlord and the FCRHA will sign a Housing Assistance Payment Contract which identifies the total rent and the portions paid by the tenant and the FCRHA.
  •  Landlords must submit an ACH Direct Deposit Authorization Form to set up direct deposit of the subsidized portion of the rent.
