SECTION 8 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Own the Property, Let Us Manage the Process
Section 8 and affordable housing can provide property owners with access to a large pool of qualified renters and structured housing assistance payments, but managing these properties also comes with additional paperwork, inspections, deadlines, agency communication, and ongoing compliance requirements.
Executive Property Management takes care of it for you.
Our experienced team coordinates directly with property owners, tenants, local housing authorities, and participating agencies to keep each step organized and moving forward.
Whether you’re preparing a property for its first voucher tenant or managing an existing affordable housing portfolio, we can handle the day-to-day management and administrative work from lease-up through ongoing tenancy.

FAQ
Section 8 Property Management FAQs
Answers on RFTAs, inspections, HAP payments, screening, and how we coordinate with Alabama housing authorities.
What is Section 8 property management?
Section 8 property management is professional rental property management for homes participating in the Housing Choice Voucher program. In addition to normal property management responsibilities, it can include housing authority coordination, RFTA paperwork, inspections, HAP payment administration, recertifications, rent adjustments, and ongoing program documentation.
Does Executive Property Management manage Section 8 properties in Birmingham, Alabama?
Yes. Executive Property Management specializes in property management for Section 8 and affordable housing properties in Birmingham and other Alabama communities, helping owners coordinate leasing, housing authority requirements, rent collection, maintenance, compliance, and ongoing tenant management.
What is an RFTA in Section 8?
RFTA stands for Request for Tenancy Approval. It is part of the Housing Choice Voucher lease-up process and provides information about the rental property, proposed rent, utilities, lease dates, and other details needed by the Public Housing Agency to review the proposed tenancy.
Do Section 8 properties have to pass an inspection?
Yes. Housing Choice Voucher properties must satisfy applicable inspection requirements before assistance can begin, and properties may be subject to additional inspections during the tenancy. We help owners coordinate the inspection process and address property-management items that arise.
What is a HAP payment?
HAP stands for Housing Assistance Payment. Under the Housing Choice Voucher program, the Public Housing Agency pays an approved housing assistance amount to the landlord on behalf of the participating tenant. The HAP contract governs the relationship between the housing agency and landlord regarding those assistance payments.
