Becoming a Landlord
Work With Us
OUR 7
STEP PROCESS
FOR WORKING WITH US
About Your Lease Agreement:
- Landlords use their own lease agreement and the same screening criteria that apply to any other applicants and tenants.
- Tendency Addendum is part of the HAP contract and lease. This form can be found under landlord forms.
- The lease should not be signed and dated until after Dothan Housing’s approval.
Documents Needed:
Dothan Housing is required by HUD to confirm that housing assistance payments are issued to the legal owner or a legal representative of the owner. To comply with these requirements the Housing Authority will request specific information on page three (3) of the property registration packet prior to approval of a HAP contract on a unit:
Inspection Process:
The dwelling unit must pass the program’s housing quality standards and be maintained up to those standards as long as the owner receives housing assistance payments.
Landlord Incentives:
DH has launched our Attracting, Recruiting, and Retaining Landlord Campaign. Landlords who meet the required criteria are eligible for landlord incentives.
***Please note: Transfer of current Section 8 HCV Participants are not eligible.***
