HELP!!!!! 1st time section 8 landlord

[Darrian Whitford]

Hey everyone, I just purchased a property and I have been advertising it as section 8 welcome. I have received alot of interest, and I have showen the property 3 times in 3 days. I have a dilemma, I have never rented section 8. Im in familiar with the  process, as to what comes next after finding a qualified tenant. Can anyone fill me in on the process. Im in Missouri by the way.

Thanks

The first thing to do is to complete a full Request for tenancy approval form. The tenant should have a valid voucher (has expiration date). complete the entire packet including Landlord section. Once that is submitted and approved you will receive an inspection date. Once the unit has passed inspection then a survey is conducted to ensure you are requesting reasonable rent. Once that process is completed and cleared you will receive a date for both tenant and landlord to sign lease and Housing Assistance Payments (HAP). The HAP is a binding contract between Landlord and Housing Authority for payments.
