When can I change the rent?
Section 8 regulations require that you give the Housing Authority 60-days written notice before raising your tenant's rent. If the initial term of your lease is up, you are able to give your tenant a rent increase notice. However, it must be a 60-day notice and you must give the HA a copy of it immediately. If the HA receives a notice that does not meet the 60-day requirement, the HA will make the rent increase effective on the first day of the month that follows the 60-day requirement (example: 60-day notice of rent increase given on 3/23/05 would be effective 6/1/05. This information is located in your HAP contract on page 10 under "Changes in Lease or Rent." Please note that rent increases do not require a new lease.Click HERE to go back to the top of the page.

What if I want/need to give my Section 8 tenant a notice?
When giving notices to your tenants LBHA strongly advised that you comply with current Landlord/Tenant statutes (rental laws). Your contract with the Housing Authority requires you to provide us with a copy of every notice you give to your tenant including eviction notices. Make sure we have a copy. The family must comply with the terms of your lease. If they seriously or repeatedly violate some (or several) portions of the lease,* this is a violation of their Family Obligations and could result in a loss of their assistance. Property management is a business, and we strongly encourage all landlords to enforce their lease with Section 8 families just as they would with any other non-subsidized renter.Click HERE to go back to the top of the page.
