You need to check with her case worker to be sure that she has been approved, and your rent is within the limit of the type of dwelling she has been approved for.

Also you need to make sure she is a good tenant, clean, no illegal activities.

If you lease to her, the city will send someone for an inspection (mostly safety issues, no broken windows, no peeling paint, proper illumination, fire alarms, etc.) The city will send you payment record to report taxes.

The downside is it is not easy to terminate the lease with Sec. 8. So if you plan to flip the house in the near future, better go with someone else on month to month lease.
