rent subsidies

Tenant payment help

Rent subsidies are payments from government or other sources that cover part of a tenant's housing costs.

Programs like Section 8 in the U.S. bridge the gap between what low-income renters can afford and market rates: She qualified for rent subsidies after losing her job.

The subsidy typically goes directly to landlords on the tenant's behalf.
