Security Voucher
This security voucher guarantees that the Human Resources Administration (HRA) will pay up to the equivalent of one month’s
rent if it is verified that the tenant who occupied the apartment failed to pay his/her rent and/or caused damage to it. The landlord
must submit proof of the unpaid rent and/or damage along with the Landlord’s Claim For Security Voucher Payment (on the back
page) within three months after the tenant has vacated the apartment. The Agency will only make a payment if the claim is
submitted within three months after the tenant has vacated the apartment and a review of the documentation submitted by the
landlord confirms that the tenant failed to pay his/her rent and/or damaged the apartment. This Security Voucher will not be
honored until the front and back pages have been completed, signed, notarized, and returned to HRA.
