| | For Section 8 Landlords, Passing the Housing Inspection | 2 Comments

YES! You better believe it!

Both Landlord and Tenant get the inspection notice.

Landlords are responsible to ensure the unit comply with Section 8 quality housing standards. If you are still not familiar with “the usual suspects”, click on this link for a checklist  https://section8facts.com/?p=543

Housekeeping is the Tenant’s responsibility. Nonetheless, payment to Landlord will be stopped if both Landlord and Tenant don’t comply with HQS.

So make sure, your Tenant cleans the unit…

      Every county is different but most likely 60-90 days.
