There is no such thing as a Section 8 Landlord. There are either public housing developments and apartments, or there are landlords who are willing to participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program (I.e., accept section 8 vouchers).
There is no obligation for a landlord to take Section 8.
Section 8 is a federal program, and the answer, except under specific circumstances where the tenant is disabled and the relative is a caregiver, is no.
Basically, a section 8 contract is an agreement among the Housing Authority that is administering the section 8 program, the landlord, and the tenant. They usually consist of agreements by which the Housing Authority will, on behalf of the federal government - HUD, to be exact, to the landlord its portion of the rent, to ensure that the tenant's portion is proportionate to his income. There are federal regulations for this program under which all three parties must abide.
Sure, as do the tenants. There are rules by which the landlord, the tenant, and the housing authority must abide by in order for the program to remain in effect.
If you are on the Housing Choice Voucher Program (also known as Section 8), he can call his Housing Program Coordinator (HPC) for help. The HPC can inspect the home and if it doesn't meet federal housing quality standards (HQS) the hPC can order the landlord to fix the problem or help you located another home to move into. If not then you can call the Code Enforcement bureau of your city or county and they can inspect the home and fine the landlord or condemn the home.
This depends on the complaint you have against him, whether the Landlord has a boss, and if the landlord takes Section 8 or owns a complex that is under a federal loan or tax credit. If the landlord is an individual landlord he is subject to code rules of the municipality of the rental unit. If the complaint is about discriminatory issues you can complain to HUD. If he takes Section 8 you can complain to your Section 8 specialist.
can you get section 8 for an apartment you are all ready rent but can no longer pay for landlord wants information for section 8 for renters and how you can get it.
No.
Window decor rules have nothing to do with whether a property is subsidized under section 8 or any other low income program. Each landlord has the right to make his own rules regarding this.
Section 8, known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, is a program by which the federal Government, through the local Public Housing Authority (PHA), will pay a landlord a portion of the tenant's rent, known as housing assistance payment (HAP), in order to keep the rent affordable to low-to-moderate income families.
Regardless of what state you're in, the section 8 program is the same: its comprised of either public housing or a voucher that guarantees that the landlord will be paid a portion of the rent for a tenant who qualifies in the program, minus the tenant's portion of the rent, which is determined upon commencement of the program.
