How much can a landlord charge in rent for a Section 8 unit?
Landlords can charge a “Comparable” rent relative to the open market. This is called “Rent Reasonableness”. Comparable means similar in size, age, amenities, and market area within a community. On the MTW Demonstration Program a family would receive a flat subsidy, and it is up to the family to decide if they can afford to pay the difference.
