Whether a landlord is required to replace blinds depends on the lease agreement and local laws.

Can your son sue the landlord for being hurt by somebody else on your rental property?
In general a landlord is not legally responsible for the actions of the people who rent housing from him or her. If your son was hurt by somebody else who lived in the same rental property because the building was defective and so this other tenant came crashing through your son's ceiling and struck him, then there would be a case. Otherwise, I don't see it.

What happens if a landlord fails 3rd section 8 inspection?
Each Housing Authority has the right to handle such failure of inspection according to what it sees best. If the failures are relatively minor, the landlord will be given time to fix it. If the landlord fails to fix it within a given amount of time, it is a severe failure, or it is a repeated failure, the housing authority has the right to fail the inspection and assist the tenant in locating another property. If the tenant has not occupied the failed property yet, the Housing Authority will deny the applicant the ability to move there.
Section 8 housing when already have housing?
Either you are talking about getting a voucher while you are already renting, or you are talking about getting a voucher while you are on public housing. In the case of the former, if you are already renting a home, and you want your landlord to be able to accept that voucher, yes, that is possible. If the house is suitable for your particular household, and the property meets housing quality standards, then you can use your voucher for your landlord to receive housing assistance payments on your behalf. In the case of the latter, this means that you could find a home that is privately owned by a landlord who is willing to accept that voucher for housing assistance payments on your behalf, and move out of the public housing unit.
Can a landlord evict you for not paying rent when on sec 8 and tenant has damages reported to sec 8?
These are two separate issues: the first issue is whether the landlord can evict you for not paying rent. It doesn't matter whether you are on section 8: if you do not pay your rent on time the landlord does have the right to evict you. Whether you have reported any damages to the Housing Authority is irrelevant. If the damages that you reported to the Housing Authority is relevant to substandard living conditions, they have the right to have these damages corrected by the landlord or the landlord will not be paid their portion of your housing assistance payment (and you may not be responsible for your portion). Only if the Housing Authority tells you that you do not have to pay your rent would this be applicable. But if you have not received such notice, you are obliged to pay the rent on time.
What are the 3 main forms of a housing tenure?
The three main forms of housing tenure are rental housing, owner-occupied housing, and social housing.

How long does it take for you to get low rent help after you apply?
The process can take about a month or less. There are certain steps that you take during the application process. If your current landlord is willing to take section 8 vouchers then you're at an advantage: you won't have to move (unless your landlord's property doesn't meet housing quality standards). Usually after about a couple of weeks of you turning in your application and providing all the information that is necessary, you will get a reply with an appointment for an interview with a housing program coordinator/case manager. This person will interview you to ensure that you meet the qualifications. If he or she accepts you, then you will receive a date at which you will receive an orientation into the program and your voucher. When you receive your voucher you will either look for an apartment/home, or, if your present landlord is willing to accept the voucher, the property meets housing quality standards, and the household size is appropriate for the number bedrooms, then your landlord can take the voucher and turn it in and start receiving housing assistance payments. Your housing program coordinator will arrange to inspect the property before the voucher can be approved. This could take about a month, but more often than not, your housing program coordinator will work with your landlord and you as quickly as possible.

The major difference between renter-occupied housing and cooperative housing lies in ownership and decision-making. In renter-occupied housing, tenants lease their units from a landlord and have no ownership stake in the property. In contrast, cooperative housing involves residents collectively owning shares in a corporation that owns the property, giving them a say in management and operations. This structure fosters a greater sense of community and shared responsibility among residents.
