Fort Worth Housing Solutions, formerly Fort Worth Housing Authority, now conducts HQS inspections biennially rather than annually. If your unit is scheduled to be inspected, you will receive a notice as usual. If your unit is not scheduled to be inspected this year, you may still request a rent increase 60 days before your tenant's recertification.

Effective July 1st

In order to streamline the rent increase process for landlords and clients, FWHS no longer requires a new lease; however, the client’s signature is still required to insure the client has been informed of the increase. A copy of the rent increase request form which has all the required information needed to process the rent increase can be download from our website here . This document must be signed by the client and landlord. The client’s signature does not bind the client to the requested rent amount if the client’s portion of rent increases. Landlords are allowed to request a rent increase within 60 days of the anniversary date each year. Landlords may log into Partner Portal to determine the anniversary date of the client.

After receiving the documentation and approving the 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 increase is not approved, a denial notice will be sent to the landlord and client.
