Section 8 voucher utilities included
Hello, I have a few SFH rentals . I've never had a section 8 tenant but am looking for general information.
I know how to look up what section 8 would pay for rent based on bedrooms and fair market value for the area , but how does this work with utilities?
I heard that it can be paid by the program or by the tenant .
Certain vouchers include utilities but is there a limit on how much they cover for utilities?
What if the tenant can not pay the difference for what the voucher will cover and what the bill is ?
If there is a couple thousand dollar water bill and the tenant vacates then is this a landlord problem to pay ? Will the housing authority do anything in this instance?
