It’s not that hard to flunk a Section 8 inspection. Just make sure the bathroom fan isn’t working. When you get a real tenant, just fix the fan - although the tenant might not even complain about it.
Another way to flunk: Put double lock deadbolts on the doors - ones that require a key to open from the inside.
I never actually tried that one though.
There are other ways - I got out of the landlord business before COVID.
I can’t imagine the horror of being a Section 8 landlord. Being a landlord would be challenge enough.
Can't do that here: that makes it a rooming house!
