My experience with Section 8 renters is the opposite of what is described in this article. They were the worst of tenants, had little skin in the game, didn’t maintain anything, were destructive, and the government bureaucracy made it much more time consuming and difficult to get them out. Additionally, it becomes more and more difficult to find non Section 8 renters in the same areas.
My fear is that eventually, the government will force landlords to accept Section 8 tenants, or face discrimination lawsuits.
