Section 8 Payment Standards List

[Paula Reavlin]

Wondering if you all use the Payment Standards list before you submit a Rent Adjustment with Section 8?  

In my case, I inherited a Section 8 tenant in Cuyahoga County, OH and I was not made aware till after escrow closed.  So, when I made a rent adjustment I did not know this list existed, CMHA did not mention it to me.  

Now that I know about it I cannot believe how much more rent I could be getting....I just put in a Rent Adjustment request so I believe I have to wait a year. 

What is your experience with this list?
