Landlords

Landlords in the Town of Marion and in Smyth County can do business with MRHA by accepting tenants who receive Federal Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) rental assistance from MRHA. Property owners who participate in the HCV program enjoy the security and convenience of reliable direct-deposit rental assistance payments from MRHA.

The role of the landlord in the HCV program is to provide "decent, safe, and sanitary housing" to a tenant at a reasonable rent. The dwelling must pass the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspections and be maintained up to those standards as long as the owner receives housing assistance payments (HAP).

For information about becoming a Landlord, call our office at 276.783.3381.
