What Is Section 8 Housing?

Section 8, also known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, is a federal program administered by local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to help low-income individuals and families afford quality housing. Tenants pay a portion of the rent, and the rest is subsidized by the government.

For landlords, Section 8 presents a reliable stream of income and a broad tenant pool, but it also involves strict guidelines, inspections, and administrative coordination. That’s where we come in.

Our Section 8 Property Management Services in Lakeland

At Advantage Property Management, we offer comprehensive solutions that cover every stage of Section 8 rental management from tenant placement to rent collection and property maintenance.

Section 8 Tenant Screening & Placement

We know how to market your property to eligible tenants and help you find renters who will treat your home with care. All Section 8 tenants must be approved through their PHA, but we go a step further with:

  • Background checks
  • Rental history verification
  • Personal references

We help you make informed decisions and fill vacancies with the right tenants faster.

Navigating the Approval & Inspection Process

Before you can rent to a Section 8 tenant, your property must pass a Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspection. We ensure your property is up to code before inspection and help you avoid costly delays.

  • Pre-inspection walkthroughs
  • Coordination with local housing inspectors
  • Remediation guidance for failed inspections
  • Re-inspection scheduling and documentation

Our team has a strong working relationship with area housing authorities, which helps smooth out the process for property owners.

Rent Collection & Income Tracking

With Section 8 rentals, rent payments typically come from two sources: the tenant and the housing authority. We track both and ensure timely payments.

  • On-time rent collection from tenants
  • Monthly rent disbursements from the PHA
  • Owner reporting for income tracking
  • Follow-up on late or missing payments

You’ll receive your payments on time with full transparency.

Maintenance and Repair Coordination

We provide 24/7 maintenance coordination to keep your property in great condition and your tenants satisfied. Prompt repairs also help you pass annual inspections.

  • Responsive maintenance team
  • Vendor management
  • Preventative maintenance planning
  • Emergency repairs

Regular upkeep ensures your home remains compliant with Section 8 regulations year after year.

Compliance & Documentation

Our staff handles all compliance paperwork, lease agreements, and renewal requirements to ensure you stay aligned with federal and local rules.

  • Annual recertifications
  • Lease renewal coordination
  • Communication with housing authority caseworkers
  • Fair Housing compliance

We keep your property legally sound and fully documented, so you don’t have to worry about administrative oversights.

Benefits of Renting to Section 8 Tenants in Lakeland

Section 8 housing has many advantages for landlords in Lakeland, especially when managed professionally:

    • Reliable rent payments: A large portion of the rent is paid directly by the government, reducing risk.
    • Lower vacancy rates: Section 8 properties are in high demand, especially in areas like Lakeland.
    • Longer tenancies: Section 8 tenants often stay longer, creating stability.
    • Community contribution: You’re providing safe housing to families who need it most.

When managed properly, Section 8 rentals can be just as profitable—and often more stable—than market-rate rentals.

Client Testimonials

“This company deserves 5 star”

Advantage Property Management is the best property company ever! This company deserves 5 stars , I truly appreciate and absolutely love all the hard work all of you do for your renters thanks so much for everything.

“We instantly saw improvement in the properties…”

We had given 2 of our properties to another local manager who severely neglected the buildings and put us in a tough position. Without missing a beat, Advantage jumped in on short notice and took over management right away. We instantly saw improvement in the properties and had clarity into the problems. The level of attention, care, communication, and dedication Advantage provides to both owners and tenants is top notch. They have a deep understanding of the market and the importance of happy tenants. The team works together towards a common goal and truly “gets it” on what it takes to successfully care for someone’s home and investment.

“communicative and transparent…”

Advantage has consistently provided great PM services. They are communicative and transparent, which is very valuable and difficult to find. Recently, we had a make-ready done on a property and I was very pleased with the results. Shae managed the repairs and provided me with valuable updates along the way. I can’t stress enough how important it is to be involved in the decision making process and she had some great suggestions to make the home shine. Her dedication to the job seems to be part of the company culture. Highly recommend this team!

“APM is a partner to me every step of the way.”

I have been an Advantage Property Management customer and landlord for years. But it feels wrong to refer to myself as a customer. APM is a partner to me every step of the way. The whole APM team is amazing, and I couldn’t own property in Memphis without their help and guidance. They treat people well, including importantly the tenants. They have high standards for the properties they manage and are delightful to work with.

Kevin and his team completed a spectacular overhaul of my rental property, which needed some major TLC – beautiful new kitchen, flooring, remodeled bathrooms and drywall. Great communication throughout the project, many thanks for the attention to detail and high work quality.
