[quote=Anonymous]Anyone who rents to Section 8 is just a fool. I never rent to Section 8 and thus have had 0 problems with tenants paying rent over the last 15+ years in DC. I’ve had literally thousands of tenants over this time. It’s not difficult people.

Either renting to or living near section 8 housing is a disaster waiting to happen. Those folks will always stop paying rent the moment they have an excuse not to, that was before the pandemic as well. And living next to them is a nightmare, the city converted some apartments to section 8 in one of the nicer neighborhoods and everyone was too afraid to speak up for fear of being labeled racist and whatnot. Within a year, arrests for drugs increased in the area, there were more car break-ins, constant police due to domestic disputes and all sorts of other issues, and some moron let his pit bull out near the elementary school and it almost mauled a kid.

I would let my rental units sit vacant for 50 years before I rented to Section 8. I view it as my civic duty to the neighbors of the properties. [/quote]
