They make sure you get the majority of the rent money when it is due and it goes directly to you and if the tenant does not pay there rent they lose there section 8 all together until you are payed . You also do not have to worry about your home being destroyed , because they do anual inspections on the house to make sure every thing is ok with the house and they also have to comment on the tenants house keeping skills ,you get to read the report when it is mailed to you but other than than I'm not really sure if there is a real benefit to the land lord other than you getting to help peole who really need it !
