Do not say no when asked if you accept S8. Say the property is not Section 8 approved. This only applies if you rent one or two houses, single family.
There was a great discussion of S8 pros and cons in the last couple of weeks you might want to search for.
My reaction to Section 8 is to run as far and as fast as I can away from any such S8 tenants.

Thanks for your feedback -- I will check for the other thread. I'm leaning toward not dealing with it....

In my opinion there is good or bad in having a section 8 tenant. If you get upset that the additional GF or BF might move in, who are not listed on the lease, then best to avoided. I do not pay any utilities on my rental properties and so I don’t press this issue. At one point I did, but section 8 wanted me to prove the extra person was living there, and not just visiting. Lol This woman has been there 5 or 6 years now. So other than that. I have found the program to be reasonable if your area is geared toward it. I would not rent this as a section 8 rental in a higher end home. Any inspection that I had, are reasonable for the most part. Sometimes the rent is late but I’ve had the same problems with non section 8 tenants. I offer my properties as section 8 ready and regular renters. The last section 8 renter unit. Woman pays late each time by a day or two. But pays the 5 % late fee each time. The other non section 8 house, the woman is on M to M lease. I’ve had less problems with section 8 renters over the years.
