One reason why landlords dislike section 8 housing is that too many tenants trash the property, have a chip on their shoulder, and make trouble for other tenants.
Agreed.
They have no interest in the upkeep of the property. Income issues aside, they’d also be the ones that fail the applications process (usually background investigation).
Once Section 8 starts moving in, it’s over.
All the other tenants will move out as soon as possible.
I’ve heard some landlords simply don’t take section 8.
Once someone gets a section 8 voucher, he/she may then find it’s tough to use that voucher. So then many end up in bad neighborhoods, from what I hear.
Then again, many of us have made sacrifices and saved money etc so we could live in nice areas. We have earned it through working and saving and sacrifices. Is it fair to us to force too many section 8 housing units in our nice areas?
If poor people did not act like absolute trash, normal people would not be opposed to them.
Same goes for other demographics.
It’s not rocket surgery.
I don’t want poor people living near me because they have poor ways.
