There are about 10,000 families who have been on the waiting list...
“Families”?
Doubt that.
More likely single women with clutches of bastard children. “
Comment of the day!!
Section 8 does not give you the $10,000 or $20,000 to repair or remodel your property after the “tenants” totally trash it and move out. Nobody in their right mind takes Section 8.
If you own rental property in a jurisdiction that is considering this kind of law, I have some advice: SELL NOW!
“Fair” housing.
“Fair” wages.
“Fair” freedom.
“Fair” speech.
“Fair” being whatever the TV networks make the most profit on- isn’t democracy wonderful?
Require tenants to abide by the rules. If they don’t evict them.
It usually is seldom a matter of income as is it of character.
Not every poor person is a cheat or someone seeking to trash a place.
When in doubt, check references particularly with previous landlords from whom a prospective renter has rented before.
If they require landlords to take Section 8, the number of rental properties would go down to 0.
And all from different baby-daddies.
The woman featured in the article says she’s a single mother with 2 boys. There’s no mention of the father(s). As far as I’m concerned, the father(s) should be paying for at least part of the rent, before the taxpayers should be asked to pay.
But then, that makes sense..
I detect Cloward-Piven in play here.
The Government would love to take over housing. So if they demand landlords accept Section 8, private citizens would no longer want to rent housing....So the only solution would be a Federal takeover of housing.
I couldn’t even watch all that bleeding heart crap about “LaTanya” and her uncited “disability”.
She ain’t disabled enough to not afford a nice wig, or the furnishings in her home. She’s disabled with what? She was outside walking with the kids and wasn’t limping or anything? She could speak and certainly could put on her wig in the morning. Disability my ass. This woman is a professional slack, period. She ain’t hit a lick of work since the dude she hooked up with dumped her trifling ass.
These people DESTROY homes because they have nothing invested in them. They destroy and they move on to the next one, the next time.
LaTanya, if you wants some extra money, find that no good jackass you lay down with and get him on Maury and then serve him a child support order.
We had tremendous problems with the Section 8
The other thing is the detailed inspection the government does before you can take section 8 at least here. I would have no problem taking the money but I do not have any units which could pass the inspection. The other scary thing is the state and counties are passing laws which codify the requirements the inspectors are looking for into law so you are constantly in violation when you have tenants.
If she got child support and alimony, she wouldn’t even need to wait for Section 8.
The real question though, why isn’t she married? Marriage is the best anti-poverty program around.
what is this woman’s “disability”?.....I’m sure it must be stress, or a bad knee or perhaps she’s got a personality disorder or maybe she’s just a lazy jerk?...
now that libtards are redefining families, they’re “families”. air quotes needed.
She couldn’t get the SNAP, the WICs the Section 8 if she was married. She’d only take the child support if she could hide it from the government. Otherwise, she’d have to work....that’s why.
Happened to my Brother, he was sent overseas and had a Property Managment Co. take care of his house, they rented it to a Section 8 woman with 4 rugrats and a boyfriend and within 6 months the placed was trashed. Broken windows, doors, flooded bathroom floors, broken appliances etc. When we finally got them out of there [they know all the ins and outs of the system and it took about anther 6 months to boot them out] they stole all the rest of the working appliances. Unbelivable! The school administration was disappointed that they left because they were the only Black kids in the school, BOO-HOO. We lost our Diversity.
LaTanya Is on disability. Injured vet or workplace injury do you suppose?
I think they make a great point. If the banks can turn these people down for mortgages, why can’t the landlords turn down section 8 renters?
It’s clear they can through other means.
Enforce the rules on ALL tenants, regardless of income status.
If a landlord doesn’t, he loses any rights to claim damages for property degradation beyond normal wear and tear.
Don’t expect tenants to follow the rules if management isn’t serious about them.
