those lining up for Sec 8 tenants would be naive fools or slumlords, nor landlords
landlords know that in return for the govt-guaranteed rent check, they have to swallow any and all tenant behaviors and damage ro their property
which is likely to be trashed and the landlord has to pay for all repairs and rehab - the gubmint don’t make no “security deposit”
and the tenants - impossible to ever evict
and God help you if the property built before 1979 - some pimp lawyer will sue yer aXX for lead paint damages
There was a Section 8 house in my neighborhood, and the tenants DID trash it. The owner had to plow A LOT of money into rehabbing it and bringing it back up to code to get Section 8 approved again.
The current tenants are not high-class, but at least they’re not destructive.
