[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too bad it can’t be Section 8.[/quote] Any rental housing can be section 8, since DC forbids discriminating based on source of income.[/quote] This isn’t really true. I am a landlord in DC. DCRA sets the maximum rental price they will pay in each neighborhood and I have found that it is always below the actual market rate. Just to use sample numbers, I will advertise a house for $3000/month and DCRA will only give a section 8 voucher in that neighborhood for that size house up to $2800. I will have lots of interest from Section 8 voucher holders, but cannot and will not rent to any of them because I will be able to rent the house for the full rental price easily to someone without a voucher. Section 8 voucher holders are not allowed to supplement the voucher or split the house with a non-voucher holder. This is cause to lose their voucher. I have found this to be true in most neighborhoods in DC. [/quote]
