Are My Screening Criteria Unrealistic for Section 8
Hello,
I have decided to welcome section 8 applications for my rental, but I'm wondering if my screening criteria listed below are unrealistic for applicants:
- Minimum credit score: 640.
- Minimum household income: 90,000 $USD per year (Can be waived with Section 8 or HCV voucher).
- Minimum rental history: 2 years (please provide references). No eviction in the past 2 years.
- Minimum work history: 1 year (please provide references and pay stubs for the past 3 months; if self-employed we can discuss alternatives to paystubs).
- Criminal, eviction, employment and background check
- No guarantor outside of household
Thanks in advance for answers
