CMHA Section 8 Refuse to Pay Back Rent During Inspection

[Joshua Thang]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have experience or frustration with CMHA not paying back rent during the inspection period? In my scenario, Sec 8 came out to do their inspection on the property around end of March but it didn't pass inspection after several tries until end of June. I paid my property manager in April for the repairs that needed to be done on the property as soon as I knew about it. Now that inspection is cleared, CMHA refuses to pay back rent for May and June. Some of the reasons why it got delayed was because tenant got covid and it had to be delayed for another several weeks. Is there anyway I can recoup back rent I didn't get during the inspection period?? My PM said it's not possible.....even though everybody says Sec 8 provides guaranteed rents...
