Step 1 of 8 · Owner and payee

Fields marked with an asterisk are required.

Legal owner name (person or entity)

Entity type

Phone

Mailing address

Which taxpayer number is on your W‑9?

We don't ask for the number here. Your housing authority needs your IRS W-9 to pay the housing assistance payment and report it. You give it to them with the RFTA packet, and FindMySection8 never stores it.

Employer Identification Number (EIN)Most entities, and many individual owners.Social Security numberOnly an individual owner without an EIN.

Who signs the paperwork?

The ownerYou sign the lease and the housing authority's contract yourself.An agent or management companyWe'll ask for the management agreement or power of attorney.

What this costs you

Applicants never pay, at any stage. You pay the Service Fee: one month's contract rent, by ACH bank transfer. For an apartment community it's invoiced on move-in, net 60, by The Apartments Concierge.

For a house, duplex or build-to-rent home, the first half of the Service Fee is earned when the packet is submitted to the housing authority and isn't refundable, whatever happens after: if the household withdraws, the authority says no, the unit fails inspection or you change your mind. The second half is owed only when the unit passes inspection and the household moves in.

Still needed: legal owner name, entity type, mailing address, phone, a valid email and which taxpayer number is on your W-9.
