If you want to live in income based apartments, you have to meet the income requirements. You can find the requirements on HUDs website since they are different for each county.

You will need to provide HUD proof of your income. This would include pay stubs covering the last few months, tax returns, or documents showing that you are on other government programs such as the food stamp program. If HUD approves you, you will then get a voucher.

Look for apartments on HUDs website or ask them to give you a list of apartments from which you can begin your search. Other places you can try are apartment search websites.

When you go look at the apartments based on income, be sure you bring some paper and pen to note what you like and dislike about the apartments. This is what you will use later to help you make a decision regarding the low income apartment you will move into.

Chat with some of the people living at the apartments and gauge how they enjoy living there. Ask them if maintenance is prompt in fixing things. Also search for reviews of the income based apartments online.

Do a walk through of the apartment with the landlord and have them fix or clean the apartment. Ensure that they do this before you move in.

If there are a lot of people wanting to get into income based apartments, then you could be in for a wait. Be patient and eventually you will move into your very own apartment.
