Most families who disqualify for the Housing Choice Voucher Program do so because they were evicted from public housing, owe money to a landlord or a Public Housing Authority for damages to a public home or unpaid rent, have at least one member with a violent criminal history, or have at least one member who is a registered sex offender. A family may also disqualify if they are making too much money and can actually afford to rent a home without assistance.

Even if you do not have a written contract you still have a verbal contract if someone has agreed to rent you an apartment for a specific price. Verbal contracts are also enforceable (although not as easily as written contracts, since there may be no concrete evidence about what exactly was agreed). In any event, if you agreed to pay rent, then you do owe the rent that you agreed to pay, contract or no contract.
