Under the Section 8 program, landlords cannot charge tenants additional rent beyond the amount specified in the lease agreement and the approved rent subsidy from the housing authority. However, landlords may charge tenants for utilities or other costs not covered by the program, as long as these charges are clearly outlined in the lease. Any additional fees must comply with local laws and be reasonable. Always review the lease terms and local regulations for specific guidance.
