@Eric E.Each is different, you can either look for it in the Housing Authority website or County website under housing or Housing choice Voucher payment standards.

Hello All,       Can my tenant buy my house using her section 8 Voucher income with seller financing or Land contract?    

@Andy BallesterOk, just to clarify.It doesn't seem like you've ever rented with housing choice vouchers before.It doesn't seem like you've ever owned rental real estate in Swissvale before.What I can tell you about both of those conditions is that is is difficult.  

She explained this as, the homeless veteran pool does not commonly meet most landlord's tenant standards (credit, income of 3x rent, and no felonies), and here in Seattle the rent is so high that the HUD VASH (section 8 for veterans vouchers) does not come close to the cost to rent.

Over the years, we've had several expensive and negative experiences with the voucher program occupants and in the last month, one of our section 8 tenants has moved out.

Does the mortgage company cut you a break or put you up in a hotel or give you vouchers for the local laundromat?

@Chris Levarek - I’ve had the SEC 8 voucher holder pass away (although never shot), and SEC 8 passed their voucher to another person in the family and the lease stayed in tact except for an amendment to substitute the lease holder.

If they do, and the landlord responds within the 10 day allowance, that tenant’s voucher can get placed “on hold” until compliance is made with the current landlord.If a SEC 8 tenant has an outstanding landlord judgment, HUD will not reissue their voucher so they can move until the judgement is satisfied or a payment plan has been agreed upon.SEC 8 tenants are educated in the process of home inspections and are quick to call if they see a problem that may compromise the house, such as a water leak.In most markets, SEC 8 pays “market rent” based on comparable non-SEC 8 units that have rented in the same city within a 5 mile radius, within the last 6 months.

The tenants barely got their move out vouchers to find another property and have 60 days to move. 

Have you considered Section 8/Housing Voucher Program???
