Owner FAQs

Property owners are generally required to consider applicants using Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in accordance with applicable state and local fair housing laws. However, voucher holders must still meet the property's screening criteria, including rental history, income requirements (where permitted by law), credit standards, and other lawful qualification requirements.

At Oregon Real Estate Group LLC, we stay current on housing authority regulations and fair housing requirements. We can guide you through the voucher program process, inspection requirements, and compliance obligations while helping you identify qualified applicants and minimize vacancy.
