What are housing authority preferences for a Section 8 application?

Not every housing agency or multifamily landlord provides preferences, but many do. Some preferences are required (mandatory preferences). Others are optional and not required (discretionary preferences). What preferences are required depends upon whether the housing program you apply for receives federal or state funds. So it is important to know whether you are applying for a state- or federally funded housing program. Some housing agencies have also been given permission from the state to use different preferences to meet the needs of their communities. Because every housing agency and multifamily development will have different preferences, make sure you ask at each place where you apply for Section 8 what their preferences are.

What is a Section 8 landlord?

In order to become a Section 8 landlord, one must first have the necessary inspections by their Housing Authority and has been approved to rent to a Section 8 tenant. The Section 8 program produces renters in every state that need available apartments.

Landlords must have their property inspected by a division of the Section 8 office in order to rent to a Section 8 tenant and accept the Section 8 housing voucher. The landlord will prepare their own lease, but it will be no less than for one year. By urging section 8 landlords nationwide to participate in government rental assistance programs, and educating them about subsidized housing, the gap between a low income tenant and an independent landlord is being reduced. You can apply for Section 8 by completing a Section 8 application when those applications are being accepted by the Des moines Iowa Housing Authority.
