thank you for this . discriminating against a person because their income is partly from section 8 is actually illegal . also, it's rude . in fact, even the '3x rent income' excuses some like to set themselves up with to avoid facing discrimination lawsuits doesn't fix it : a person receiving section 8 assistance does have, by the definition of the program, 3x the rent, because the actual rent paid by the tenant is ~ 30% of their income

people need to stop looking for excuses to be assholes
