That doesn't work in Oregon where the law says if the house does not meet Section 8 standards, the landlord must bring the house up to Section 8 standards at the landlord's expense. As far as I know, Oregon is the only state with that law about the house being brought up to standards, but verify that before you act on it. --76.178.xxx.xxx

thanks Oregon Woodsmoke. I was thinking more of DQing the S8 applicant based on not showing their share in reserve or an income calculation that I think Dion? does on the Lumberjack LL when it comes to S8. --64.246.xxx.xxx

S8 peeps pay 30% of their income to rent. If you don't want S8 call the housing authority and ask what they will pay. They use only the BR count to determine rent. Then simply set your rent higher. --198.168.xx.xxx

... no one can tell you that you have to lower your rent. --198.168.xx.xxx

I don’t know where she went after she was kicked out of the section 8 program nor do I know how she came up with the rent. --174.206.xx.xx

I would disqualify all section 8 tenants based on the recent moratoriums. --174.240.xxx.xxx

Cheapest eviction I ever did. only a couple months of her payment was lost. --198.168.xx.xxx

More life in the grey area...lol --198.168.xx.xxx

In NY we cant deny due to source of income but i dont have to take them if the rent is too high but what i have done is tell them to have there case worker call me,that never happens and i dont see it as my responsibility to call the worker. --74.77.xx.xx

Doubt it’s hard to keep them out after basic screening. All I know is that after the moratoriums, I would do everything within my power to keep federally backed tenants out of my units. --174.240.xxx.xxx

As landlords we have so many hoops to jump thru anyhow, I can't imagine the ones that places like NY impose. --107.147.xx.xxx

zero, coming to an area near YOU! The current regime wants to institute Oregonian, NY and CA (lack of) property rights laws to YOU. --64.246.xxx.xxx

NE - Hud never missed a payment thru the pandemic. My S8 peep made a statement about "not having to pay her portion" because of the moritorium. To which I answered "If you want to put your S8 certificate as risk ... go ahead. Miss a payment." She made every payment. --198.168.xx.xxx

Tyran, federal backed tenants evictions were stopped in certain areas during the scamdemic. Possibly nationally. Can’t remember know because there were so many shenanigans involved in it all. Too much to keep track of. --24.152.xxx.xx

I don't have to accept Section 8 in my state, but if I ever had an applicant on Section 8 pass all of my written criteria, I would take them. So far, no Section 8 tenant has ever come even remotely close, but there would be no reason to not take them if they pass all the criteria. --76.178.xxx.xxx

I've found that in addition to checking out the applicant it's just as important to check out the PHA handling their voucher. Of the 3 PHAs that I'm presently dealing with 1 is fantastic, 1 is OK and the other leaves a lot to be desired. The one that leaves a lot to be desired used to be decent but over the years they completely changed how they do things. --72.93.xxx.xx

I have a sec 8 tenant who was a good tenant for a year but got injured at his job. He was paying me while applying for sec 8 . Since the place is on well water, I had to do a test for bacteria and replace 3 electrical outlets. I'm satisfied with the program but normally wouldn't do it , extra paperwork , time delays etc. For me, the transition to sec 8 was seamless. --35.132.xxx.xxx

I told one S8 peep to move her file to another housing authority ... she did. It worked for both of us. --198.168.xx.xxx

I require the section 8 voucher holder to make $1200 or $1500 a month, pick your number. If they make that kind of money I can usually get my kind of rent. And they are usually responsible and holding down a job. That's one part of my screening. --172.56.xx.xx
