Additionally, California just adopted statewide rent control, and places like Sh*t Francisco are adopting ordinances that force property owners to rent their properties.
Basically, California has gone Marxist.
So, if I have a $1,000,000 house for rent, I have to rent it to a Section 8 applicant?...................
Did I read that right? The largest *Federal* subsidy? Responsible states and working class America subsizing CA, as usual. I am afraid to ask what the acrual annula dollar amounts are.
“... reject prospective tenants solely because they hold federal Section 8 housing voucher...”
Most of them could be rejected for a hundred different valid reasons other than “solely” for Section 8 vouchers.
I predict that there will soon be a shortage of rentals in California.
“Why do we continue to criminalize and penalize and have bias against people who are poor?” Mitchell said after the bill cleared the Senate.
Because they don’t pay their rent?
Uhhhh, because they can't pay their bills?
That is already the law in New Jersey with the exception of owner occupied properties with four or fewer units. You can’t discriminate based on any LEGAL source of income, and section 8 is legal. One way around it is to require a high minimum credit score of ALL applicants, but if you’re caught waiving it for the “right” tenant you can be hauled into court and fined.
NOTHING DESTROYS a Hood more than Sec 8
and get Big Brother OUT of housing
Your in Section 8 AND you look funny.
Then, the surviving tenants can sue for millions and will no longer be poor.

What’s your problem? We have a homeless problem in CA, so we’re taking your rental property & giving it to the homeless.
No more homeless, no more problem.
What, you don’t like that?
When I had rental properties in Arizona I had a couple of Sec. 8 renters for a while. Treated my properties like their personal garbage dumpster. Never again.
Cost me a fortune after they moved out to clean the places up for the next tenants.
What's going to happen is these landlords will either sell or just keep the properties off the market to rent. The rental market will dry up.
Real estate is a valuable asset. Owners don't want to see their homes destroyed to assuage the guilt of some liberal officials.
I have a niece. 35 years old. 2 kids. 2 different Daddy’s and has Section 8 housing. They live in an Apartment.
She has never had a job, only source of income is child support of 1 of the Daddy’s and of course government help.
She’s has NEVER had a job. I doubt if she ever will.
So what happens to her when she is 50 an both kids are gone. Does she still get government money?
And if that’s the case, why do we have ANY homeless?
Property Rights??
Only for ME and NOT for thee!
Commiefornia. Giving true meaning to the term “Third World Sh*thole”.
I see a potiential business model here. A firm could provide a rental history check. In essence, a landlord could require the prospective rentor to go to a third party for a rating as to their history of renting. Model it after a credit score.
Renter would have to apply and would be required to fill out an online form, agency would then check with prior landlords / appartment complexes. Some type of rating system. Leave an appartment trashed and your score is lowered. Have the police frequently called out, again lowered. No complaints, keep the place clean, pay your bills, higher score.
“Cheap rent brings cheap renters...” as my father used to say.
Another directive
Just run a credit check. That pretty much sorts out everything.
The Constitution has been repealed...
