Landlord Question and Answer Forum
Im applying with BHA (Boston Housing Authority) for section 8 tenants. On the application it is asking what I will be charging for rent. I assumed BHA would determine what the apartment is worth depending on the condition, location, size of bedroom etc. If not, how do I determine the value of my unit? I have no idea what the rent should be and I have people tenants calling me about it already! Im a new landlord for 3 units and obviously have a lot to learn.

RE: SECTION 8
You have the right to ask for a rent that is reasonable and comparable to similar unassisted private market apartments in the same building and neighborhood. The BHA may not approve a higher rent for an apartment if similar apartments in the building are charged lower rents or if similar apartments in the neighborhood are charged lower rents.
