What does the owner's application for section 8 entail?
According to the "landlord's briefing" packet from the Raleigh Housing Authority, the tenant hands in their own packet to RHA for approval of their section 8 unit. On the landlord's end, along with the owner's application, the landlord submits the following documents...
- Proof of Ownership (Wake County Tax record)
- IRS W-9 form
- Direct Deposit form with voided check or bank document
Is anything missing from the list above? Do I (the landlord) hand in my own packet at the same time (or immediately after) the tenant submits their own packet? I'm trying to make sure I'm not missing any step(s) in between.
I expect that after the tenant and landlord have each submitted their documents, RHA calculates tenant's affordability of the unit and gets back to both of us.
This would be my first time renting section 8 and I want the process to go as smoothly as possible to reduce vacancy.
