Section 8 is a part of a government program invented in the 1930’s. After the Great Depression, there was a shortage of affordable housing for the poor. Now the program has changed a bit. It pays the difference between what tenants can afford to pay and what the landlord charges for rent.
Section 8 is a federally funded government program. It falls under government assistance. This means that you must meet the requirements in order to qualify for it.
There is a number of requirements that must be met in order to qualify for Section 8 housing. You must check the requirements for your area to see if you qualify. If you do, you are required to pay 30% of your income towards rent. The government will pay the rest to your landlord.
Some landlords do not want to rent to Section 8 tenants. They may have had poor experiences in the past of tenants that will not maintain their property. Or they may have heard similar stories from other landlords and don’t want to take the risk. In order to combat this, you present references from previous landlords saying what a good tenant you are. Remember, even with Section 8 you are still only borrowing the property you’re living on. It is important to do your part to keep it up to par.
Some places that accept Section 8 are below the standard conditions the government requires properties to be in. Normally they are infested with pests, such as roaches and rats. There may also be significant, noticeable damage to the property itself. It is important not to take up residence in such places. Landlords who neglect their properties are taking advantage of the system. They should not be supported.
Keep in mind that when applying for Section 8, you may be put on a waiting list for public housing if you live in a large city. Section 8 housing is more readily available in smaller towns because there is less strain on the government’s resources.
