You see one bad apple soils the whole bunch. Which makes it harder for others to rent. Thats why section8 explains that landlords, need to screen possible tenats.I have well over seven years of positive rental history and have always maintained the property in which i reside. My rent is paid before the first of each month but now I'm having to relocated out of the area because their home is paid in full and they want to give the home to their daughter.
Futhermore; I've spent about a month, looking for some place safe with good schools for my children. However, I keep hearing owners saying is No because sect8 people tear up your homes. Although, many of the places I have considered where poorly maintained by tenats that weren't on sect8 and you never hear anything about them. Bottom line landlords need to take the extra steps when it comes to screening tenats and stop putting everyone in the same boat. Section8 is a great program for those like myself that use it in a positive way so, that one day I could be a home owner.
