Section 8 = property damage (more often than not)
Your property is not your property.
I’d like to see allodial title in the US, but we never will. That’s real ownership.
I’m a low-end landlord in Florida. One of my renters is a former Section 8 user. I only took her when the previous landlord, a black couple, gave her a good reference. However, the previous landlord said, “We had no idea she was moving. Can you tell me when?” Yeah, not good, but I have no complaints on her.
HOWEVER, having heard the stories about Section 8 issues and having seen some myself, I would never rent Section 8. It’s not just the issues with the renters, it’s dealing with government bureaucracy. Mark Twain said no power is exercised more vociferously than small power. If you run into a clerk who is uncooperative you can forget about getting reimbursed. I’ve seen such events as a renter blocking up all the sink drains and leaving all the faucets on until a neighbor calls the landlord to report water running down the street. Then there’s the tendency renters have to build a drug lab that could potentially destroy the house. The list goes on. In general, the chances of having those things happen are much less if the renter is paying with his own money.
Fortunately, I’ve reached the point where I almost never have to advertise. Former renters send their friends to me.
How come she is not investigating Trump???
Remember when Section 8 was voluntary?
if that homeless man went to a mission to deal with his spiritual problems and become welcomed back into normal society, he would not have been homeless in the first place.
So a landlord doesn’t rent to someone who obviously can’t afford the rent so they go after the landlord. This is where we are.
Counter sue the AG for failing to uphold her responsibilities wrt "SAFE housing"....
“ Housing is a basic human right…”
No it’s not.
NO it isn't. Neither are health care, food, beer, marijuana, flat screen TVs, vacations, etc. all of the aforementioned require resources and labor to provide. If is is a basic human right, then someone has to provide them. Who? in this case the communist James is requiring the landlord to provide his at a preset government rate. - not to mention the damage that section 8 renters do and the crime that they bring with them. If someone has a "right" to some commodity or service, then someone else has an obligation to provide that commodity or service. And, if it's a "right" then the recipient doesn't have to pay anything for it, so the provider is in effect a slave of the provider.
What rubbish!
Just require a 700+ credit score.
Ah! did you think there was actually something called “private property”? You would be mistaken. You just have the title, and must pay taxes and the upkeep.
Where’s the “City of Evil” graphic???
Maybe the landlord doesn’t want his properties to be trashed when they move out.

Also, I've noticed that many of the Section 8ers are entitled race hustlers. On more than one occasion I was told that I must accept them as tenants as it would be racist not to.
The communists want to force landlords to rent to anyone.
Landlords have the right to control who is in their property in a free country .
Requiring Fane to allow at least 5% of his properties to be destroyed will ultimately lead to his insurance being dropped. He should just sell off his properties now and smile at the property taxes he will no longer be paying.
We have a client who is an elderly woman in NYC. In November 2017, her now deceased husband took tenants with housing assistance - the city was to pay about 2/3, they were to pay the difference. They made one payment of the difference when signing the lease and never made another.
In 2018 she sought to have them evicted. In 2019 they settled with a signed agreement to only accept the city’s $1300 for a year, then in 2020 they would voluntarily move out.
They didn’t (surprise). And then they couldn’t be evicted because covid. As covid was ending, the tenants decided to file a complaint for violating her human rights. As part of that, she is forbidden from taking any action which may be deemed retaliatory (read: eviction). So now they’re at 5 years and counting of rent-free living in NYC.
Her supposed wrongdoings consisted of some shouting (unverified), not responding to an e-mail about death of a service dog, not timely fixing the heat when it went on the fritz, and not accepting the city’s payments. And of course the Division of Human Rights has found probable cause that she is the wrongdoer here and is now going to sue her.
Let the tenant take their voucher and go live in New York State Attorney General Letitia James’s house. Sue her if she refuses to take them in.
