The paperwork listed below should be
submitted at the time of your Move-in inspection.
Lease Agreement
If you currently use a standard
Lease Agreement (sometimes called a Rental or Tenancy Agreement) with private
market tenants, you must use this same Agreement for your Section 8 tenants.
If you do not have unassisted
tenants you may still use your own Lease Agreement. OHA does not recommend that
you write your own Lease Agreement without legal guidance. Where can I get a
Lease Agreement?
Please bring your Lease Agreement to
the move-in inspection so it can be signed by your tenant and reviewed by OHA.
OHA must review your Agreement and attach a Section 8 Addendum before the
Housing Assistance Payment Contract can begin.
Notices & Disclosures
Please check to make sure the lease
you will be using has all the notices and disclosures required by local and
state laws.
You should also bring your House
Rules and/or any other addenda you want to attach to the Lease Agreement.

Agent Agreement
You will need to give OHA a copy of
your Agent Agreement if you want to give a property management company or a
family member authorization to act on your behalf (sign contracts, access
private information, receive checks). The Agreement should clearly state what
authorization is given to the individual or company.
