Current tenant approved for Section 8. What should I do?

[Brandon Malone]

Last year I had a tenant apply for a two-year lease on one of my rentals. She had really good income. Single mother with three kids. One year into the lease, she informs me she's been approved for Section 8 with a voucher that is about $600 higher than the cost of her rent. I certainly don't mind HOC, however it will be the first time renting to someone on HOC. I'd like to get advice from folks on here the best way to handle the situation. Do I have to re-do her lease? What requirements and or things should I be aware of as I try to determine how to sign up with HOC to receive rent from them for her. Any advice?
