That is why I would NEVER agree to participate in Section 8
The tenant has NO responsibility for damage or maintenance of the property. So they trash it and then complain about slumlords and move on to a better place
The govt guarnatees a rent check, but the landlord is responsible for all damages after the locusts move on
I had a friend who rented his townhouse to section 8 tenants. After they moved out he had 50,000 in repairs. He has to replace ALL the drywall, all the bathroom fixtures, etc. Saying they trashed the place would be kind. Of course the govt. doesn’t subsidize the repairs, he was out the money.
The problem is, if you have rental properties, eventually you won't have a choice but to participate. I thought about buying some rental properties, but knowing what the future is, I am backing out.
