HUD / Section 8 Rentals

[Jason Barnett]

I just went through a (mildly) bad experience with Section 8. I had planned on renting out a unit to a Section 8 tenant, but when the inspector came they gave me a list of about 30 different things that I had to repair. Mind you that most of these are small items, but they are taking me a lot of time to get them all done. So I was wondering: does anyone here have a detailed list of items that Section 8 inspectors look for on these inspections? Or can you give me a link where I can get a checklist like this?

I am looking for something with specific items, not the generalized list of items on the Section 8 report itself. I ran into an inspector that was very picky and I want to be more prepared next time...

Thanks in advance!
