What is Section 8 and How Can It Benefit You?

The Section 8 program, formally known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP), is administered by the Memphis Housing Authority (MHA). It assists low-income families, seniors, and the disabled in finding decent housing in the private market. Eligible participants receive rental assistance, allowing them to choose their own housing while paying a portion of their income towards rent.  

As a landlord, you benefit from:

Guaranteed Rent Payments: The government directly pays a portion of the rent, reducing the risk of late or missed payments.  

Reduced Vacancy Rates: Section 8 programs offer a pool of pre-screened applicants, potentially leading to faster tenant placement.

Long-Term Tenants: Section 8 participants often seek stable housing, and property maintenance and tend to stay longer, minimizing turnover costs.  

Increased Cash Flow: Consistent rent payments and lower vacancy rates contribute to a more predictable income stream.

  • Provides decent, safe, and sanitary housing to a tenant at a reasonable rent: This is a core responsibility. The landlord must ensure the property meets basic living standards and is free from health and safety hazards.

  • Ensures the dwelling unit meets HUD’s housing quality standards initially and as long as the owner receives housing assistance payments: The property must pass an initial inspection conducted by HUD to ensure it meets program requirements. Ongoing maintenance is also necessary to maintain the unit’s quality.

  • Provides the services agreed to as part of the lease signed with the tenant and the HAP contract signed with MHA: Landlords are obligated to fulfill all promises made in the lease agreement, such as providing routine property maintenance or addressing tenant requests.

  • May not be related to the tenant (unless MHA has approved a reasonable accommodation for the family): Landlords can rent to anyone who meets the program’s eligibility criteria, regardless of their personal relationship with the tenant.

  • Abides by the HAP contract and enforces the lease: Landlords must comply with the terms of the Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract with the housing authority and enforce the terms of the lease with the tenant.

By fulfilling these responsibilities, landlords can ensure a positive experience for both themselves and their Section 8 tenants while also complying with program regulations.
