New Landlord Portal
DCHA is excited to introduce our new Landlord Portal! This secure portal will allow landlords & property managers 24-hour web-based access to real-time information about their monthly Housing Assistance Payments (HAP), payment holds & abatements, current & past tax forms, and scheduled & completed inspections.
In order to access the Landlord Portal, please click here or click the 'DCHA Landlord Portal' button below. If you have not yet registered your account, then please click the 'register' button, select the 'landlord' registration type, and follow the instructions. If you have already registered an account, then you can log in with your username and password.
If you own multiple properties across different LLCs/ownership entities, and would like to be able to access information on all properties you own through a single account and login, or if you have any questions or need general assistance, please reach out to DCHA via info@dcha.net or (608) 224-3636.
Landlord Information

DCHA maintains a rental vacancy list for both our voucher holders and others seeking housing in Dane County. If you are interested in listing your unit(s) with us, please fill out the Vacancy List Form, linked below, and return it to us.
Landlord Announcement Bulletin:
Upcoming Changes (10/1/2025) to Inspection Standards
Effective October 1st, 2025, DCHA's inspections will be carried out using HUD's new National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) rules. DCHA encourages landlords and owners to do a pre-inspection walkthrough of units to preemptively spot and resolve any potential deficiencies under the new rules, especially life-threatening (24hr) deficiency conditions.
As a reminder, deficiencies under the smoke detector requirements (effective 12/2024) & carbon monoxide requirements (effective 12/2022) will continue to be life-threatening (24-hour) deficiencies, which must be corrected within 24 hours of PHA notification.
For more information, you can visit DCHA's NSPIRE information page or HUD's NSPIRE webpage.
