Section 8 Feature Map
Built for the Voucher Program's Real Requirements

Every feature maps to something the Housing Authority or HQS compliance actually requires. Not generic landlord software.

Section 8 Compliance Tracking

Track vouchers, HAP payment amounts, inspection due dates, and FMR rent limits by bedroom count and zip. Get ahead of annual recertifications before they sneak up on you.

Knox Email Inbox

Forward any Housing Authority email to your Knox inbox. Knox identifies the property, files the document, and creates a notification if action is required. Nothing gets lost.

Document Expiration Tracking

Inspections, certifications, and HAP contracts all have expiration dates. DoorVault tracks them and alerts you before deadlines pass so you're never caught off guard.

PM Statement Processing

Knox reads every HAP payment and owner disbursement line on your PM statements. Tracks what the Housing Authority paid vs what your PM passed through to you.

FMR Rent Limit Tracking

HUD updates Fair Market Rents annually. DoorVault tracks FMR by bedroom count and zip so you know exactly when a rent increase request is allowable and how much.

HQS Inspection Scheduling

Track HQS inspection history and repair documentation per property. Know exactly what was flagged, what was repaired, and when the next inspection is due.

Multi-Unit Tracking

Running Section 8 in a duplex, triplex, or quad? Track each unit independently: tenant, voucher, HAP amount, lease terms, and inspection status per door.

Knox Anomaly Detection

Knox flags when HAP payments are missing, amounts change unexpectedly, or a month is skipped. You know the moment something is off, not three months later.

Common Questions from Section 8 Landlords
What documents does Section 8 require landlords to keep?
Section 8 landlords must maintain: HAP contracts and amendments, lease agreements, HQS inspection reports and repair documentation, rent increase request approvals, recertification notices, and correspondence with the Housing Authority. DoorVault stores all of these organized by property and flags expiring documents.
How do you track HAP payments from the Housing Authority?
DoorVault tracks HAP payments by reading your monthly owner disbursement statements with Knox AI. Knox identifies the HAP portion vs tenant portion, flags missing payments, and alerts you to unexpected amount changes. You can also forward Housing Authority emails to your Knox inbox and they're automatically filed to the correct property.
How do I find Section 8 Fair Market Rent for my area?
HUD publishes Fair Market Rents annually by metropolitan area and county, broken down by bedroom count. FMRs set the maximum subsidy the Housing Authority will pay. DoorVault tracks FMR limits by bedroom count and zip code so you know when an annual increase is available and aren't leaving rent on the table.
How do I pass an HQS inspection?
HQS inspections cover 13 categories including sanitary facilities, structure and materials, smoke detectors, and electrical systems. DoorVault tracks inspection schedules, repair completion, and documentation for each property so you're always prepared and have a paper trail when the inspector arrives.
