It's a little complicated. The rules for section 8 set a limit to the rent that can be charged by the landlord. This depends on where the apartment is and what is provided in the way of appliances and utilities. Note. In general, if you find a three bedroom unit whose rent is within the limit for a 2 bedroom, the section 8 people won't allow you to take it. If this happens to you, ask the landlord to rent it to you as a 2-bedroom, 2-living room unit. Strangely enough, this is quite legal. Provided you find a home that is within the limit, the housing authority will "means test" you to decide how much you can afford to pay yourself; they will then pay the difference directly to the landlord. You then pay what they didn't. Warning. Take great care to pay your portion. If you don't you will lose your voucher.

The worth of a voucher for a two-bedroom unit in Michigan can vary significantly depending on factors such as location, local housing market conditions, and specific programs, such as Section 8. Generally, vouchers might cover a portion of the rent, with the tenant responsible for the remainder based on their income. For precise amounts, it’s best to consult local housing authorities or specific voucher programs in the area.

The voucher itself doesn't allow more than the bedroom size for which the recipient is eligible. However-- and this is the case with most Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Apartments-- The rent may be low enough that you may be able to afford a larger apartment than what your voucher allows.
