Upcoming Changes

UPCS-V Changes from 2.0 to 2.5 has updated the following:
Unvented heaters will no longer be permitted in any units participating in the program.
Caron Monoxide Detectors will need to be installed by the owner for any property with an attached car garage, even if the units is total electric. 
GFCI Receptacle will need to be in place within six (6) feet of a water source. 
FWHS will make this effective in 2019

Rent Increase Request

In order to streamline the rent increase process for landlords and clients, FWHS does not require a new lease and will no longer require a client signature on the rent increase form. A rent increase form may be downloaded from our website here. Landlords may request a rent increase within 60 days of the clients anniversary date each year, which may be found in the partner portal. 

After receiving the documentation and approving the rent increase, FWHS will notify both parties of the rent change with a Rent Change Notice with the Effective Date, Total Contract Rent, Total Resident Rent, Housing Assistance Payment and Utility Reimbursement, if applicable. If the rent increase is not approved, a denial notice will be sent to the landlord and client.
