Landlord Information

MHA’s Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) relies on property owners to provide decent, safe, sanitary and affordable dwelling units for HCVP participants. View the

HCV Owner Guidebook for an informative Owner/Landlord HCVP overview.

After a HCVP participant selects your unit, there are a few simple steps to start receiving housing assistance payments (HAP) from MHA on behalf of your HCVP tenant. 

  • Complete and submit the Request for Tenancy Approval packet provided to you by the HCVP voucher holder.  MHA will contact you to schedule an inspection.
  • Ensure your unit is ready for MHA’s HQS inspection—utilities on, owner-provided appliances working, move-in ready. HUD’s HQS Inspection Checklist tells you what MHA will be looking for during the inspection.
  • Charge only a market-comparable rent.
  • Include HUD’s Tenancy Addendum as part of your lease with the tenant.
  • Upon MHA unit approval of the unit and rent, sign and return the Housing Assistance Payment Contract.
