Are My Screening Criteria Unrealistic for Section 8

Raymond Kalonji
Posted

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
