THANK YOU FOR BEING A LANDLORD

Your role as a landlord in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is important to the Aurora Housing Authority (AHA) and to the participants of the HCV program. Without the landlords, the HCV program’s principal goal to expand affordable housing opportunities to low-income families would not be possible.

1. The landlord must submit the Rent Increase Request Form, Amenities List and proposed lease or lease addendum to the appropriate Housing Specialist by fax or email.

Terminating Tenancy

Tenancy may be terminated for various reasons. To terminate tenancy, Colorado State law must be followed the same for Section 8 assisted renters as for market-rate renters. 

• The lease or Colorado law gives the family the right to terminate the lease on notice to the owner and the family has given a notice of termination to the owner in accordance with the lease. If the family does terminate the lease on notice to the owner, the family must give AHA a copy of the notice at the same time.
• The family has complied with all other obligations of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) and has moved out of the assisted dwelling unit in order to protect the health or safety of an individual who is or has been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking and who reasonably believed he or she was imminently threatened by harm from further violence if he or she remained in the assisted dwelling unit. 
• The lease for the family’s unit has been terminated by mutual agreement of the owner and the family. If the family and the owner mutually agree to terminate the lease for the family’s unit, a copy of the rescission must be given to AHA per the terms of the HAP contract.
• The owner has given the family a notice to vacate, has commenced an action to evict the family, or has obtained a court judgment or other process allowing the owner to evict the family. A copy must be given to AHA per the terms of the HAP contract.
