Do you accept Section 8 Housing Vouchers?


** If you have a Section 8 Housing Voucher- Qwest Property Management, LLC considers a HUD Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8 Voucher as "income" with regard to our company policy for income requirements. However, HUD requires that a housing provider must sign the HUD HAP Agreement and Tenancy Addendum in order to participate in the HUD HCV/Section 8 program. Per the HUD HAP Agreement and Tenancy Addendum, a housing providers Lease Agreement is then no longer the controlling legal document between all parties. Qwest Property Management, LLC manages and represents the properties that our clients own. Many of our clients are not willing to give up control of their assets and prefer not to be forced into signing a 3rd party contract which trumps the terms of the Lease Agreement. So, due to HUD's requirements, HUD/Section 8 will only allow you to rent certain properties in our 3rd party managed portfolio.

To find which of our properties that HUD will approve for Section 8/HVC, look in the rental listing in either the "amenities" section or in the description of the rental listing, it will state either "Accepting HCV's" or "Accepting Housing Choice Vouchers" or Accepts Section 8 Vouchers." If it DOES NOT state that HCV's or Section 8 is accepted in the rental listing, then HUD/Section 8 will not allow you to rent that property because HUD/Section 8 will not allow the lease to be the controlling legal document between all parties.
