CAN I GET AN INSPECTION OF MY RENTAL UNIT BEFORE I FIND AN ELIGIBLE FAMILY TO BE MY TENANT?The resources of the Housing Agency are limited, and we usually do inspections after your unit is selected by an eligible family and a Request for Lease Approval is completed.  If you intend to place the unit on our available property list, an exception can be made. We request that you make any necessary repairs prior to an inspection to avoid the necessity of a second inspection and a delay in the start of the lease and contract effective period.

CAN THE HOUSING AGENCY PROVIDE A CREDIT CHECK FOR ME ON A CLIENT?

No.  The Landlord may contact a Tenant Screening Service or credit reporting company.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS FAMILY WILL BE A GOOD TENANT IN MY RENTAL PROPERTY?

The Housing Agency does not know.  It is the Landlord’s responsibility to screen all prospective renters.

HOW OFTEN ARE THE RENTAL UNITS INSPECTED BY THE HOUSING AGENCY?

The units are inspected prior to a contract being signed, and at least annually thereafter.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY TENANT MOVES OUT AND LEAVES DAMAGES TO MY HOUSE?
The tenant is responsible for any damages to the unit.  The security deposit is intended to cover damages. 

If the rental unit is damaged, the tenant will lose his/her eligibility to receive future rental assistance.

WHAT TYPE OF HOUSING QUALIFIES FOR THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM?

Any housing unit (whether a single family house, apartment, duplex, condominium, elderly high-rise, or handicap accessible unit) that is decent, safe, and sanitary.  The rent must be reasonably priced.

WHO QUALIFIES FOR THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM?

Single people, families, elderly people, and disabled people qualify for the Program.  Qualification is based on income and family composition.

WHO WILL PAY ME THE RENT MONEY, AND HOW MUCH WILL THE TENANT PAY?
The Housing Agency pays directly to the Landlord an amount based on the tenant’s income and the Fair Market Rent.  The tenant’s share of the rent is paid directly to the Landlord.

WHO WILL PAY ME THE SECURITY DEPOSIT, AND HOW MUCH WILL I GET?
The tenant pays the amount that you are requiring, as long as it is within the State law.  The Housing Agency does not pay the security deposit.

WHY AM I NOT RECEIVING THE MONTHLY PAYMENT NOTIFICATIONS?
The monthly payment notifications are sent from system@email.lindseysoftware.com. Please make sure you have the domain email.lindseysoftware.com white listed in your SPAM filter.
