🏠 Housing Choice Voucher landlords
Section 8 landlord software for voucher tenants
Voucher tenants, without the paperwork pile-up. Track the tenant's share and the housing authority's share separately, and keep up with inspections and rent changes.
Renting to Housing Choice Voucher tenants means two payers for every unit: the tenant and the housing authority. Rentsi is Section 8 landlord software that keeps those apart, so the tenant only hears about what they owe and the HAP payment is matched to the right households when it arrives.
When the housing authority sends a rent change, you enter the new split and effective date once and the charges follow. Not sure how the two portions work? Read Section 8 HAP vs tenant portion, explained.

Questions about Rentsi for housing choice voucher landlords
How does Rentsi handle the tenant portion and the HAP payment?
Each voucher lease has two ledgers: the tenant portion and the subsidy (HAP). Each has its own balance, and the tenant only sees their own part.
Can I match one lump-sum HAP deposit to several tenants?
Yes. Match a housing authority payment to the tenants it covers; differences are flagged for you to review.
What do I do when the housing authority changes the rent?
Enter the new HAP and tenant amounts and the effective date from the notice. Charges change from that date and back-adjustments post to both ledgers, with a rent-change letter drafted for the tenant.
Will late-rent reminders chase the HAP portion?
No. Collections follow up only on what the tenant owes, never the subsidy.
Does it connect to my housing authority's landlord portal?
No. You enter amounts from the housing authority's notices and payment statements. HQS-specific inspection checklists are in development; general unit inspections with photos and checklists are in the live demo today.
