How It Works

How Section 8 Leasing Works Step-by-Step

Each housing authority has its own forms and timelines, but most Section 8 placements follow a similar path. We guide you through every step:

  1. Pre-Screening: We screen voucher applicants with the same standards we use for non-voucher residents (credit, criminal, rental history, income where allowed by program).
  2. RFTA & Paperwork: We help complete the Request for Tenancy Approval (RFTA) and submit it to the housing authority.
  3. Rent Reasonableness & Approval: We compare your target rent to local payment standards and provide documentation to support your requested amount.
  4. HQS Inspection: We prepare the property for the initial HQS inspection and handle any re-inspections if repairs are required.
  5. Lease & Move-In: Once approved, we coordinate lease signing, collect deposits, and document move-in condition with photos and inspection notes.
  6. Ongoing Management: We track HAP payments, resident portions, renewals, and annual inspections so you stay in good standing.

Our goal is to keep your home in compliance while minimizing vacancy and surprises. You focus on the portfolio — we handle the day-to-day complexity.

Services

Section 8 Property Management Services for Single-Family Rentals

Everything we do for market-rate properties also applies to Section 8 rentals — plus the extra work needed to stay compliant with housing authorities. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

Leasing & Tenant Placement

  • Marketing on major rental sites and MLS (when appropriate)
  • Fair-housing-compliant screening for voucher applicants
  • Rent recommendations based on payment standards and local comps

Inspections & Compliance

  • Initial HQS inspections and annual re-inspections
  • Repair coordination to pass inspections quickly
  • Documentation of condition and work orders in AppFolio

Accounting & Reporting

  • Tracking HAP payments and resident portions each month
  • Owner statements, tax-ready reports, and online access
  • Clear notes when payment changes occur mid-lease

Resident Relations & Enforcement

  • Communication with residents about inspections and obligations
  • Fair but firm enforcement of lease terms
  • Coordination with housing authorities if issues arise

Many owners combine Section 8 rentals with market-rate rentals in the same portfolio. We manage both under one roof, so your statements and communication stay simple.

FAQ

Common Section 8 Questions We Hear from Landlords

Do you only manage Section 8 properties?

No. We manage a mix of voucher and non-voucher single-family rentals. Some investors prefer a portfolio that is 100% Section 8, while others keep just one or two homes in the program. We can help you evaluate the right mix for your goals.

Which areas do you manage Section 8 rentals in?

We manage Section 8 rentals across Greater Houston, including North and Northwest Houston, Spring, The Woodlands, Kingwood, Humble, Conroe, Lake Conroe, Montgomery, Clear Lake, Kemah, Galveston, and select parts of Fort Bend County.

Can you take over my existing Section 8 tenants?

Yes. We can review your current lease, communicate with your resident, and work with the housing authority to update management information. We then bring the property into AppFolio so rent, inspections, and reporting flow through Pro Plus Realtors going forward.

How do I know if my rent is within the payment standards?

Payment standards vary by bedroom count, zip code, and program. We look at the latest standards and recent approvals in your area, compare them with market rents, and then recommend a realistic target before you commit to a tenant or purchase an investment property.
