The landlord and section 8 have to communicate about certain things, doubt they would lie for the tenant.
- maxerickson 3y agoIs there something specific the landlord would have to communicate?
- hollerith 3y agoYes, every year the landlord must "recertify" the tenant which entails listing everyone living in the rental and what their incomes are. Rent is 30% of this income minus medical expenses.
- maxerickson 3y agoSo if the landlord sees someone that the lessee identifies as a guest during a visit not related to that certification, are they (the landlord) somehow on the hook for investigating the residency status of that guest? Or can they just fix the sink and go on home?
- chucksta 3y agoI only know a little bit second hand but I wouldn't be surprised, from what I understand each side has obligations to meet in the deal and the status can be lost on either side. Its also gonna depend on the state
- hollerith 3y agoI actually don't know the details of the landlord's obligations (besides putting info into forms, then having tenant sign the forms) but a guest is supposed to stay only a limited number of nights per year.
- maxerickson 3y agoYeah, I figured that was the case.
