That’s why public housing has acquired a bad reputation and people don’t want public housing projects in their neighborhoods.
Its a crime, prostitution and drug dealer magnet. Its asking for trouble.
Maybe....it wasn’t that way last time I did a good check on the web and at the SSA website.
i took sec 8 several years ago. most shamelessly legal business deal i ever made. worked out well financially for the 2 year rental period. tenant was muslim woman with 2 children, drove a Mercedes, did not work, section 8 paid 100% of rent, about 1700 per month. she had another child with her boyfriend while a tenant. property was inspected annually by local govt. she maintained property well since our county’s section 8 voucher program had a waiting list.
“Require tenants to abide by the rules. If they don’t evict them.”
Yeah, riiiiiight.
Won’t happen until the Holderdork and his cretin president are behind bars.
WOW... wow. Oh, wow. I can’t even think of anything else to say. Well, no, I can think of all sorts of things, but I won’t. But wow.
“This is a business. And I have an obligation to the City of Rochester and the neighborhood I own property in to put the best person in that neighborhood,” said Mary D’Alessandro, who owns 11 properties and heads the New York State Property Owners Coalition.
If accurately quoted, that is a seriously self-damaging statement and will get such a landlord into very hot water. “The best person”?
A person who says things like that had damn well better consider keeping their mouths shut.
“clutches” Perfect. That gave me a good laugh. Thanks.

A bit harsh... While certainly there are plenty of leeches in the system, it is also possible that some people actually need some help.
I did not imply it was just apartments. I meant it is used by many of the larger apartment complexes. I know this to be true as a member of the San Diego County Apartment Association for the past 23 years I/we have discussed it many times. Owners of individual units such as myself almost all reject it. Larger apartment complexes embrace it, and they can have it.
Those are reasons why I will never ever get into rental property.
Section 8 is stealth public housing. It is slow and devious because it is a gradual transformation. Look at your neighborhood and its age. If it’s past the 30 year mark, chance are the original owners have paid off the mortgage and moved somewhere better or cheaper, died. Flippers and would be slumlords have come in and buying them up and greasing the skids for a clean Section 8 inspection.
You get one Section 8 and many more follow - count on it. No self respecting homeowner wants to live anywhere near one.
Okay....I’d certainly agree with what you say....they can’t screw up the overall outside that much in an apartment.
People who get things for free have no respect for it. They do not treat your property the same as someone paying full price. The result is more damage than the Government will reimburse and a resulting loss for the landlord. Unless you are a slumlord you cannot make money on section 8 tenants.
You’re damn right they are the smart ones.
I don’t know how it is in all states but in mine once you start taking Section 8 your property basically no longer belongs to you.
The government says who you will and will not kick out, what you will and will not do with it and when.
Landlords do not want Section 8 tenants driving out all their other tenants. Section 8 may be attractive to a landlord wanting to rent a small single house, or to a landlord with rent-controlled tenants he WANTS to drive off.
Like the old saying goes -
Nobody washes a rental car.
Those are the landlords that don’t want to have the copper water pipes ripped out of their walls, human feces in the closets, or meth lab explosions.
holy shit!
