Bernalillo County incentivizes landlords to rent to low-income tenants
“Starting Tuesday, Jan. 2, Bernalillo County will incentivize landlords to rent to tenants with low incomes who qualify for the federal Section 8 rental assistance program and the county’s housing program. The Landlord Incentive Pilot Program will reimburse landlords up to $7,500 per unit for any damages caused by a voucher participant. The program also offers landlords up to a month of rent if their unit is vacant while those repairs are being made, according to a county announcement.”
