Owners and Landlords
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) (sometimes referred to as Section 8) is a great way for tenants with limited income to receive assistance with their rent. There is a waiting list for this type of housing assistance. However, If a prospective tenant contacts you and states they have a Housing Choice Voucher and you are interested in renting one of your units to them, please consider the following:
- The owner/landlord should still screen the tenant as they would any other prospective tenant. The Casper Housing Authority determines eligibility for the Voucher by income.
- The tenant’s share of the rent is based on their income. They will have the necessary paperwork needed to complete. It is called a “Request for Tenancy Approval”.
- The initial lease requirement is one year. After that it is up to the tenant and landlord to decide and can be month to month.
- The Casper Housing Authority does not pay the security deposit and needs to be paid for by the tenant.
- Owners/landlords continue to use their own lease and attach our “Tenancy Addendum” to your lease. In addition a “Housing Assistance Payments Contract” would be signed between the landlord and our office after the unit passes inspection.
Direct Deposit is available for the payments made by the Casper Housing Authority and payment records can be accessed online at this address:
A W-9 is also required for IRS purposes.
