Section 8 Landlord Information
Change of Ownership
When a property is sold and there is a Section 8 family residing in the unit, the owner/landlord listed on the contract must be changed in our computer system.
The old owner should provide a signed, written statement of when the sale occurred and who the new owner is.
The new owner/landlord of the property must submit to the Section 8 office the following information prior to processing the change:
- Name and address of family residing in the contract unit
- Old owner/landlord name
- New owner/landlord name, address, city, state, zip code, phone number, fax number
- Closing date
The new owner/landlord must be aware of the Section 8 program requirements. Each new owner/landlord can request a Landlord Packet for reference from our Clerk Receptionist.
The following forms must be completed by the owner and submitted to the Section 8 office:
- Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
- Section 8 Landlord Certification Form
- Section 8 Damage Claim Form (Depends on the date the term begins for current Section 8 contract. Applicable if this date is prior to October 2, 1995, or if Section 8 approved the old contract.)
