Voucher Question in Baltimore Area.

[Lakshay G.]

Hello,

I have a rental house in Brooklyn Park, Maryland in Anne Arundel County.

I am getting a lot of calls from prospective tenants that have a voucher. I usually don't prefer them as I'd rather deal with a "regular paying" tenant. But one case has caught my attention. This tenant gets $1490 for her rent in voucher and she has been in the same house for 9 years, the reason why she is moving out is because the neighborhood has gone much worse for her and her daughter (she lives in Brooklyn currently) and I have verified that easily. 

My asking rental price is $1300. Where she is at now is a 3 bedroom place and I have a 2 bedroom house. If I choose to go forward with her, can I ask for $1490 from the government or will they pay me less automatically because I have a 2 bedroom house as compared to her 3 bedroom house right now? Are their yearly inspection tough to pass in Anne Arundel County? I have a "Lead-Free" Certified house.

Is there any way to have an inspection done from the county BEFORE I decide to go with a voucher tenant?

Thank you in Advance.
