If you’d like to increase your Section 8 tenant’s rent, here’s all you need to do. Just send a 60-day advance notice to your tenant and the Housing Commission.

We will be happy to approve your rent increase as long as:

• The initial term of your lease is completed
• Your rent is reasonable for the area
• You’re not charging more for your Section 8 tenants. (Important! If you have two or more units, please provide rent information on those units.)
• Your market rate tenants (if you have any) are the first to receive the increase.

To help us process your request as quickly as possible, please be sure to promptly respond to any requests for information that we might have, such as addresses of comparable units. Note, rent increases go into effect on the first of the month after the end of the 60-day notice.
