Re: Accepting DSS or Section 8 - Landlord Forum thread 192974

Re: Accepting DSS or Section 8 by OK-LL on December 11, 2009 @13:45

                              
Section 8's only requirement appears to be that someone hasn't perpetrated a violent crime in the past 3 years -- they referred someone to me on the program who had just been released from prison after serving a 5-year term for aggrievated A&B -- but he met their criteria, since he hadn't perp'ed in the 3 most recent years (while he was incarcerated!!!). So don't count on Sec. 8 to vet your tenants for you. Do complete background and credit checks and be sure they have enough collectible income to cover their portion of the rent (NOT SSI, child support, disability or other uncollectible income). Many folks on Section 8 also have jobs which are taken into account in the program -- those are the ones you want.
