Section 8 Training
This presentation gives attendees a comprehensive overview of the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8). We cover:
- What to say when an applicant asks, "Do you take Section 8?"
- Why and to what extent Massachusetts landlords must participate
- How to deal with inspections
- How to screen a Section 8 applicant
- Why your insurance can't stop you renting to Section 8
- and more!
Permanent rental subsidies like the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) can be great programs to participate in. But they can be tough
on the unprepared landlord: your first Section 8 applicant may expose weaknesses in your non-discriminatory tenant screening process, sanitary code compliance, or other aspects of your business!
Attendees will gain knowledge of the program, confidence in working with Section 8 applicants, and pro tips for navigating the process with flying colors.
