What is the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8)?

The Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly known as Section 8, helps low-income families, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities find affordable rental housing. Under this program, eligible tenants receive a voucher to cover a portion of their rent, with the remainder paid directly to the landlord. This program makes it easier for families to find safe, suitable housing without financial burden. Through our platform, landlords can easily list their properties that accept Section 8 vouchers, while renters can search for homes that meet their eligibility requirements.

How It Works for Renters and Landlords

For landlords, when listing a property, you can specify if the property supports the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8). Once selected, the property will be visible to renters who are eligible for Section 8. Renters, on the other hand, can filter their search results to only show properties that accept their voucher, ensuring that their search is tailored to their specific needs. The matching process also ensures that renters only see properties where they meet the background screening and other requirements set by the landlord, streamlining the search process for both parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do renters have to pay to use Apartment One?

Yes. Renters must complete a paid tenant screening to access listings or receive property matches.

What is the difference between Quickscreen and Tenant Plus?

Quickscreen allows renters to purchase a screening report only. Tenant Plus includes screening plus access to matched property listings.

Can renters use their screening report elsewhere?

Yes. Quickscreen and Tenant Plus reports can be downloaded and shared with landlords outside Apartment One.

Do landlords pay for tenant screening?

Screening is typically paid by the renter. However, landlords can choose to run and pay for screenings directly from their portal if needed.

How does matching work for landlords?

Landlords set their screening and eligibility criteria. The system only matches their listing with renters who already meet those requirements.

What is the Partner Agent Program?

Licensed realtors and brokers can refer landlords and receive high-quality tenant leads generated through Apartment One’s matching system.

Why can’t I see listings first on Apartment One?

Apartment One works differently than platforms like Zillow, Rent.com, or Apartments.com.

Those sites show everything—including homes you don’t qualify for—so renters end up paying application fees, taking credit hits, and getting rejected over and over again.

We don’t do that.

Instead of making you search through thousands of listings, we search for you.

To do that, we first collect key information—like budget, income, move-in timing, household details, and screening criteria—so we can match you only with homes where the landlord’s requirements actually align with your profile.

That’s why listings aren’t visible upfront.

Once your information is in, you’ll only see real homes you realistically qualify for, not false hope or wasted applications.
