Renting to Section 8 Tenants - What to Expect
When I bought my rental buildings I was not planning to rent to Section 8 tenants, I didn’t even know what Section 8 was! One day a pleasant young mother called to inquire as to whether I would accept Section 8. I took an instant liking to her, and made a call to the city to found out how this program works. Basically, the city pays the rent, and the federal government reimburses the city. There is a lot of extra paperwork, but once you understand the process, it goes rather smoothly.
