Can the tenant pay extra to meet the amount I am requesting for the rental?

No. The requested contract rent must be approved by the Housing Authority. Families may not pay a rent share greater that the amount determined by the Housing Authority. Side deals between the landlord and family are illegal and could result in the family being terminated and the landlord disbarred, suspended or subject to a limited denial of participation.
