Miami-Dade Public Housing Agency MDPHA schedules meeting for Section 8 Landlords

Since REIC's blog discusses Section 8 or Plan Ocho in Miami-Dade County, I thought this news item should be posted. The budget for the US (United States) has gone through some serious cost cutting. HUD's Section Eight or Plan 8 will not be exempt from the reduction of funding. Section 8 landlords that have Section 8 HCV tenants or future landlords considering Section Eight, this meeting is vital for you to attend. I am SURE all the changes to the HUD' Sec. 8 program will be discussed by the Miami-Dade Housing Authority staff. Below is the meeting information:

"The Executive Director of MDPHA invites all owners and landlords with Section 8 (HCV) tenants to meet with him and his staff to discuss the HUD Financial Outlook and Changes. The changes impact: Payment Standards, Rent Reasonableness and Rent Increases.

Landlords, use HUD's Housing Quality Standards Checklist for your Section 8 property inspections.

HUD's Section 8 department has a program called the Housing Choice Voucher Program. This is the most popular of all the available programs Section Eight or Plan Ocho provides.

There are three parties involved when a voucher transaction occurs:

 

  1. The Property Owner or Land Lord.
  2. The County's Section 8 representatives.
  3. Tenant or Voucher Holder.

Each side has different responsibilities to allow and maintain the rental agreement. I intend to discuss each party's responsibilities over time but today I am reviewing the Land Lord's.

As you may know or may not, HUD has a list of HUD's HOUSING QUALITY STANDARDS CHECKLIST. Before a Tenant can move into a property, HUD must perform an inspection of the UNIT (rental property). A HUD certified inspector and the Land Lord schedule an appointment to inspect the UNIT (rental property). The inspection entails checking:

  • Mechanical.
  • Plumbing.
  • The UNIT's Interior.
  • The UNIT's Exterior.
  • Stairways.
  • Other.

For more inspection details, make sure you visit our HUD's HOUSING QUALITY STANDARDS CHECKLIST page.

If you should fail the initial inspection, the Land Lord has 15 days to correct the all the faults discovered by the HUD inspector and reschedule.

After you pass HUD's initial inspection, your potential Section 8 Tenant can move in after their paper work has been processed.

HUD is not finished!!!!!

In addition to the initial check, HUD performs a yearly inspection of the UNIT and provides their findings to the Tenant and Land Lord. Each violation will be accountable to either the Tenant or Land Lord. The letter will mention what date these violations must be corrected to avoid further action by the Housing Authority.

From my experience with my own properties, I only failed a HUD inspection once and that was beyond my control (hurricane damage).

Do you have any experiences with Section Eight or Plan 8 inspections that you would like to share with us?
