How do I get the owner to make repairs in my Section 8 unit?

You should write the owner a letter and send a copy of it to your Section 8 Housing Specialist (HS).  You should allow the owner 30 days to correct the problems.  If there is an immediate threat to your health and safety, you should immediately notify the owner and your HS by telephone and allow the owner 24 hours to make the repairs.  You may want to send a follow up letter to the owner.  Remember to send a copy of the letter to your HS as well.
