Depends on the state.:
In Connecticut, Maryland and Massachusetts, for example, landlords may not refuse to rent to current or new tenants who become or are eligible for Section 8 help.And in New Jersey, when an existing tenant becomes eligible for Section 8 help, the landlord may not refuse to accept Section 8 money. If you live in one of these states, your landlords refusal is against the law.
If that garbage is dictated by the politicians here in VA I will no.longer be a landlord.
I’m in MA,no surprise there. (Sigh)
