Rent Increases

Rent Increase Form

The tenant portion of the rent is proportionate to the tenant’s reported income. When the tenant’s reported income goes up or down , the tenant’s portion goes up or down. If a tenant income goes up $100, tenant’s portion of the rent is going to go up $30, even if the landlord were to lower the rent.

Should the tenant not want to sign rent increase form, you can decide to keep tenant at current rate or give the tenant and HACM a 60 day notice that you will not renew the lease.

Submit rent increases to section8leasing@hacm.org. We are now acknowledging receipt of all documents sent to section8leasing@hacm.org. We will call you if the rent is too high. In the case you don’t hear from us and you do not see new amount reflected in the lease renewal, forward to Stephen.fendt@hacm.org the Rent increase email you previously sent in.

New Contracts

After a unit passes inspection, the file gets sent to a HACM lease and contract specialist to draw up lease amendment and HAP contract. Normally this should take no more than two weeks. However, if a tenant's income has not been verified within the last 120 days, the contract will be held until we are able to obtain the tenant's current income verifications.

Tenant Accountability

If a tenant is violating the lease agreement or not paying their portion of the rent, provide section8leasing@hacm.org a copy of the 30 day notice you give to tenant to and we will send the tenant a Warning letter.

Landlord Portal

Through the Landlord Portal you are able to access real time information from our system regarding inspections, payments and lease information. Please register if you have not yet done so. You will need a registration code to register, send Stephen.fendt@hacm.org your name and the last four of your tax id, and we will get the code to you.
