Increasing rent for Section 8 in Houston, Texas 77082

[Tony Duran]

Hi All,

I currently own a two bedroom with a loft, 2 bathroom townhouse and rent it by way of Section 8 for $875. Ive had the tenant in the property for a few years now and would like to raise the rent. I have a management company that downplays the option of raising the rent in fear that the tenant may not be approved for the additional cost and may move. What shall I do since HOA monthly cost has gone up for me and I would like to recoupe the cost as well as make a little more? Is there a way to see what the HHA will approve or shall I just keep with the same rate because the tenant has been in good standings.
