Feature stories highlighting faster leasing, clear communication, and maintenance responsiveness.

  • “Angel Zapien was truly a real professional from start to finish. I first set up a meeting in person to talk about my expectations regarding a move I wanted to make. I gave all my information and he said he would call me in a couple of weeks. He did just that. He asked had I thought about what I wanted to do regarding my move. I had decided, so we set up a date to start looking for a rental property that would fit my needs. We set up a date and time for me to begin my search. Two weeks later he had four places to look at. The drive was about fifty minutes away. It would take up most of his day. He never complained, and had a great sense of humor. We drove to all four places that he had picked out. I fell in love with the very first property but he insisted I look at the other rentals, before I decided. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Angel listened to my wants. And never pushed me. I felt he wanted me to be happy with my choice. He guided me and had exceptional knowledge about the whole rental experience. Thank you for the opportunity to share with you all about my amazing experience with Angel Zapien.”

How Section 8 Works in Sunnyvale (Simple Steps)

  1. Rent-ready check. We inspect and fix safety items. We target common HQS points like smoke alarms and GFCIs.
  2. Price & listing. We set rent with comps and SCCHA payment standards in mind, then list on MLS, Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, and AffordableHousing.com.
  3. Screening & RFTA. We screen fairly and send the Request for Tenancy Approval to SCCHA.
  4. HQS inspection. We meet the inspector, handle punch-list items, and re-check fast.
  5. Lease & move-in. We execute the lease, collect deposits, and do a photo/video move-in record.
  6. Payment flow. SCCHA pays its share direct; tenant pays their share online. Owners are typically paid by the 10th each month.
  7. Ongoing care. We manage renewals, rent increases, maintenance, and compliance.
