Section 8 Approval From Housing Authority

[Dennis Baer]

I'm new here so if this isn't the right forum for the post, please suggest an alternative.  

I'm the owner of a duplex where each unit has 2BR. I am interested in having 1 unit qualify for a Section 8 tenant. Would the Housing Authority be agreeable to allow a single Section 8 tenant to occupy the 2 BR unit if the rent I charged was no more than HUD's guideline for a 1 BR unit? The unit would be rented to a family member who is currently living in a 1 BR Section 8 apartment.

Appreciate any thoughts you have on this!
