Something is not adding up here.
No, where is the parent whose name the Section 8 is in? You didnt get it on your own at age 12. The answer is NO. If you are authorized to live there, you can have a family member move in but he has to be approved by Section 8 and the landlord, and if you leave, the Section 8 dies. This person cannot remain there. You cannot give your subsidy to someone.
The Sec 8 subsidy is for the family or individual, not the unit. I dont know who the head of household is where you are and you did not specify if this is a site-based Section 8 or someone there has a voucher.
We really cannot answer this because it is purely up to the lanflrod if they let him stay or not. All we can answer is that it would be legal to allow him to stay but it would also be legal to require he move out with you. All you can do is go talk to the landlord & see if they will allow it or not.
No. He would have to talk to the landlord and have a new lease made up in his name. He can't just take over your lease. Any change of occupancy must be reported and approved by the landlord and Sec 8.
Individuals file and sign for the section 8 benefits, not a landlord for a rental unit. Once you leave the landlord should inform the section 8 department that he now has a vacancy and to no longer send him/her a monthly rental payment since you are no longer there.
The landlord would want the rental unit you were occupying to be vacant, he/she would need to clean and repair any possible damage to the property. If there is damage to the rental unit, this damage would be deducted from your deposit and the remainder returned to you.
You would also be required to inform the section 8 department that you would no longer be residing in the rental unit so as to stop the section 8 department from sending a check to the landlord that would pay a portion of the rent on your behalf.
Failure on your part not to inform the section 8 department and the landlord that you no longer occupy the rental unit and section 8 continue to pay rent on your behalf, could be considered fraud on your part and anyone residing in the rental unit.
Section 8 and the landlord must be informed of your moving. You might would want to check with the documents giving to you by the section 8 department and the landlord lease agreement for terminating the rental an moving..
If you are found to have committed fraud, you could be required to repay all the money paid on your behalf as well as possible sentenced to jail.
If you check with your section 8 documents you signed, you are not allowed to have another person move in with you to stay. This change the amount of earnings that is coming into the rental unit. If found out, again you could be fount guilty of fraud and made to repay all the funds paid on your behalf for. There is a possibility of you being sentence to jail.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.
"FIGHT ON"
No one can just move in with you on Section 8. I suspect even YOU are illegally there as well if you are 22 and been there 10 years making you 12 years old and not able to qualify on your own.
So did you know that your assss could be made to pay back all that money YOU fraudulently have bilked out of the system?
Section 8 is technically provided to ALL of the individuals within a unit. That's why you get more if you have a family as opposed to an individual...
When you move out, the rent may end up being too high for one person and since two people can live there, it is probably too big of a unit for them.
Section 8 is provided to an individual, not a unit,. You have it backwards.
It is not legal to have someone not on your voucher live with you. He shouldn't be staying there NOW.
