Basically speaking, the section 8 program does not prohibit overnight visiting, whether or not the tenant is home, and no matter what role the overnight guests has with the tenant. The basic rule is that a tenant may not have anyone staying with him other than anyone who has been approved by the housing authority and the landlord, who usually will have the rules that coincide in with the Housing Authority's voucher program. Staying with the tenant means for over 14 consecutive days, or over the number of days the landlord will allow overnight guests to stay, whichever is less. Furthermore, caregivers must be approved by Housing Authority to live with the tenant, and HUD has specific rules that Housing Authorities must follow in approving caregivers. The potential caregiver must meet the same guidelines as the Tenant, save the income requirements, including a criminal background check.

Can i rent out rooms in my house if i am renting as a section eight tenant?

I have rented to Section 8 tenants and have no complaints. Rent is paid on time. As far as damages, it's like any other tenant. That's why you collect a security deposit and if that doesn't cover damages you can sue the tenant. But a tenant on Section 8, good luck.

Is Section 8 responsible for tenant damage to real property?

HUD and the housing authority are not directly responsible for any damages caused by its client tenants. If the tenant damages property, you have the right to evict him just as you would any other tenant. If you take the tenant to court and win the eviction, the tenant will lose his voucher permanently.

The news last week stated that nycha section 8 tenants are to be evicted because section 8 did not pay section 8's portion of their rent?

It may be that the Housing Autority cancelled the Section 8 contract because of the tenant's breach. In that case, yes, the tenant is simply responsible for all of the rent, and if the tenant does not pay, the landlord should move forward with eviction. But, there is federal regulation saying that the tenant cannot be evicted if the Housing Authority simply stopped paying for some reason that has nothing to do with the tenant, like the housing authoriy's error, or budget problems.
