Section 8 is a federal program that provides adequate housing to low-income families. Despite what some people may think Section 8 is not public housing or housing developments. With a Section 8 housing voucher a person can use their allowance on any real estate rental available that accepts these vouchers. As a landlord there are many benefits to renting apartments with Section 8.
Getting Paid On Time
With section 8 apartment rentals the government pays a percentage of the rent directly to the landlord each month through the local housing authority. In many cases it can be direct deposited. In order to comply with the rules of Section 8, the tenant must stay current with their rent or risk losing their voucher for up to 5 years. Most tenants will not want to risk losing their Section 8 status so they will make their payments. If they lose their job or their incomes is reduced Section 8 will increase their payment to the landlord so the tenant can continue to afford living in the apartment.
Tenant Care of the Property
When you initially rent out Section 8 houses the apartment is inspected by the local housing authority. If at any time during a tenant’s residency, they damage your property in any way you can report them to the local housing authority. If the housing authority is able to verify you claim of damages they can remove the tenant from the Section 8 program. Once again most tenants will not want to risk this.

Many housing authorities have lists both in print and online for tenants searching for housing. This can increase the likelihood of your Section 8 apartment being rented fairly quickly without paying the expenses associated with advertising the property through other means.
