Affordable Housing
Whether you're managing section 8, or standard low-income housing, RentPost gives you the tools for success
affordable housing Built for the split payer affordable housing runs on
Section 8, HUD, and other low-income programs rarely mean one payer per unit. A housing authority covers the subsidy portion through a HAP payment while the resident pays their own share, and every dollar has to land in the right place. RentPost records the subsidy and the resident's share as separate charges on the resident's lease, keeps certifications and program documents attached to each tenant, and gives you accounting that never blurs subsidy income into tenant income. Run a dedicated subsidized portfolio or manage it alongside your market-rate units from the same account.
Track the subsidy portion and the tenant portion separately
Affordable housing splits the rent between two payers, and your ledger has to reflect that. RentPost records each side as its own charge on the resident's lease.
- Post the housing authority HAP portion and the resident's share as separate charges on the lease, so it's clear which payment covers which.
- See on the lease's ledger what the subsidy covers and what the resident still owes, without doing the math by hand.
- Each lease keeps one balance, and every payment lands on the charge it pays, backed by full double-entry trust accounting.
Stay organized and audit-ready on every subsidized unit
Compliance in affordable housing lives and dies on documentation. RentPost keeps everything a reviewer might ask for attached to the tenant it belongs to.
- Store leases, certifications, and program paperwork on each resident's profile, ready when an inspection or recertification comes up.
- Organize subsidized units alongside the rest of your portfolio, filtered and grouped however your properties are laid out.
- Keep notes, tags, and custom fields on every contact so nothing about a case gets lost.
Collect the tenant portion online from every resident
The subsidy arrives from the authority, but you still have to collect the resident's share. RentPost gives each tenant their own way to pay it.
- Every resident gets their own portal to pay their portion with a saved card or bank account.
- Automatic reminders and receipts help residents stay on top of a payment that is often only part of the rent.
- Real-time payment tracking shows you exactly which tenant shares have cleared and which are still outstanding.
Accounting and reporting that keep subsidy and tenant income apart
When two payers fund one unit, your reports have to tell them apart. RentPost's accounting is built to keep the lines clean.
- Full trust accounting at the core, with separate balances for what the authority pays and what the tenant pays.
- Lease statements that show the subsidy portion and the tenant portion side by side.
- Income, rent roll, and receivables reports that separate subsidy income from tenant income when you need to reconcile or report.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can RentPost track the subsidy and the tenant portion separately?
Yes. The housing authority HAP portion and the resident's share are separate charges on the resident's lease, and the lease's ledger shows what the subsidy covers and what the resident still owes. There's one balance per lease, not one per payer.
Does RentPost support Section 8 and other subsidized housing programs?
RentPost works for Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, HUD, and other low-income programs by handling the split-payer setup those programs require, with the subsidy and the resident's share as separate charges on each lease.
How do residents pay their portion of the rent?
Each resident gets their own tenant portal to pay their share online with a saved card or bank account. Automatic reminders and receipts help them stay current on the part of the rent they are responsible for.
Where do I keep certifications and program documents?
You can store leases, certifications, and any program paperwork directly on each tenant's profile, so the documentation you need for recertifications or inspections is organized and easy to find.
Can I see subsidy income and tenant income separately in reports?
Yes. RentPost's reports and statements separate the subsidy portion from the tenant portion, so you can reconcile each payer and report on subsidy income and tenant income without mixing the two.
Can I manage affordable housing alongside my market-rate units?
Yes. Many RentPost customers run subsidized units in the same account as their market-rate portfolio, so you manage everything in one place without a separate system for each program.
