Claim parents as dependents and affordable housing?

My tax advisor said I can claim my parents as dependents since I support over 50% of their living. They also won't be filing any taxes since their only income is social security. My question is do they need to tell their landlord that they depend on me? They live in a rented apartment offered by affordable housing and I fear if they report this their rent will increase or worse, no longer qualify for affordable housing.

1. I don't think it matters where their rent money is coming from, as long as its getting paid. Why would the landlord care?
