I want to be a landlord on the Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly known as Section 8). How can I list my unit?
The first step in renting your property to a Housing Choice Voucher participant is to review a property owner checklist and complete a rental listing form. The rental listing form allows the Housing Authority of the City of Austin to get information about your vacancy to advertise it to our clients who are moving. Once HACA posts your listing, clients will then contact you about renting your property. You will show them the property and conduct your normal screening process in selecting a tenant. If you decide to lease to an assisted client, they will give you their moving packet to complete, which includes some forms that will get you set up as a vendor in our program and an inspection form that allows HACA to come out and approve the property. To see more information about the process, please visit www.hacanet.org/housing_choice_vouchers/landlords. If you have further questions, contact Gisela Silva, the landlord outreach specialist, at giselas@hacanet.org.
