Well let me enlighten you since you are too simple-minded to understand. I am a single mother who works full-time. I also go to school. Oh yeah and I'm a landlord who gets screwed over everytime I rent out my apartments. And maybe you didn't do it but everytime it was someone on assistance. NEVER AGAIN. Guess what, It's NOT PERSONAL, ITS BUSINESS. So next time you wanna go on a rant about someone giving you a break, maybe you should learn to suck it up and get your act together. This is a tough world and landlords aren't all miraculously rich beings. You wanna compare sob stories, I will one up you everytime. Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge landlords and just realize your not the only one struggling, no one has ever helped me pay my rent and I spend my time handling my own business instead of whining and crying about it.

1st level thing ive read about this in a long time...and FYI alot of section 8 tenants work so that government money is part of their taxes too. There are lowlifes and deadbeats in every category. Thanks david.

This is the problem...what difference does it matter how much the tenant pays as long as all the rent is received!Landlords want to take that rent money from section 8 and treat you like a second class citizen because of your economic status!!!It all boils down to discrimination plain and simple!!!

Sound like "BS" all you care is for the rent. the goverment provides all your needs as long as you follow there rules. your bulldiing bring notting troble loud makers + lazy people +durg dealers Just saying the truth.

well the rent that you're getting is not 100.00 dollars,that just their half an i also believe if the carpet is dirty would you have want dirty carpet knowing ur kids will sit on the floor an watch t.v.theirs all kind of hiding bugs in dirty carpet,like.mites,bedbugs,etc.

YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A SHAME HOW A PERSON SUCH AS YOURSELF CAN SAY THINGS LIKE "I HATE SECTION-8 PEOPLE". WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING ON SECTION-8? AND WHY WOULD YOU SAY YOU HATE SECTION-8 PEOPLE? YOU SAY YOU WORK TWO JOBS AND HAVE A MODEST INCOME, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW ALL OF THE FACTS ABOUT SECTION-8. THERE ARE PEOPLE ON SECTION-8 THAT DO HAVE JOBS AND ARE BUYING THEIR HOMES AND SOME RENT, SUCH AS MYSELF. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER WITH AN ADULT AUTISTIC SON AND A 14-YR OLD DAUGHTER. I'VE HAD JOBS IN THE PAST AND WAS INJURED ON THE LAST ONE. NO ONE CAN REALLY PREDICT YOUR FUTURE, IT COULD BE HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMMOROW, JUST LIKE YOUR JOBS AND "MODEST INCOME" AND I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD ASK FOR GOD'S FORGIVENESS, BECAUSE IT'S NOT RIGHT TO HATE, DIDN'T YOUR MOM TEACH YOU THAT IT IS WRONG TO HATE SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE RECEIVING SOME SORT OF HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT, I DON'T KNOW YOU, YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T SAY THINGS LIKE "I HATE SECTION-8 PEOPLE", BECAUSE MAYBE YOUR MOM AT ONE POINT IN HER LIFE RECEIVED FOOD STAMPS, OR MAYBE EVEN RECEIVED FUNDS FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO HELP WITH CHILD DAY CARE, WHILE SHE WENT TO WORK TO SUPPORT YOU AND OTHER SIBLINGS. YOU SHOULD REALLY WATCH WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE, BECAUSE MAYBE ONE DAY THEIR MISFORTUNES COULD BE YOUR MISFORTUNES. AND MENTALY ILL PEOPLE NEED SOMEPLACE TO LIVE ALSO, AND JUST BECAUSE A PERSON HAS MISSING TEETH DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY'RE BAD PEOPLE AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, EVERYONE DESERVES A PLACE TO LIVE, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE THERE ARE? NIETHER DO I, BUT THERE ARE A LOT SOMEWHERE IN THE MILLIONS. AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THE ALCOHOLIC OR DRUG ABUSER DON'T HAVE JOBS OR THAT A PERSON DON'T HAVE THEIR LICENSE, DID YOU ASK EACH AND EVERY PERSON THOSE QUESTIONS? I'M GOING TO ASSUME THE ANSWER AS TO BEING NO, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE ALL THE SMOKING, VANDALISM, LOUD NOISES AND ALL OF THE OTHER GOINGS ON, THEN WHY DON'T YOU JUST MOVE OUT INTO A NICER AND MUCH MORE QUIETER PLACE THAT YOU THINK YOU DESERVE INSTEAD OF BEING INCONCIDERATE, MEAN, RUDE & SELFISH PERSON YOU ARE, BECAUSE AS I STATED I DO HAVE A SECTION-8 VOUCHER, BUT THERE'S ONE DIFFERENCE WITH MINES, MY VOUCHER CAME FROM GOD, AND I'AM BLESSED & GRATEFUL THAT HE CHOSE ME TO BLESS IT TO, AND SO WHEN I TELL PEOPLE OR PEOPLE ASK ME ABOUT MY SECTION-8 VOUCHER, I JUST TELL THEM GOD APPROVED ME. SO PLEASE STOP HATING PEOPLE ON SECTION-8, I'M NOT AT ALL LIKE THOSE PEOPLE THAT YOU DESCRIBE IN YOUR POST, SO DO YOU HATE ME TOO?

Mary you are very ignorant, my husband is on Millitary section 8. This means my husband served this country your living in Mary with his life on the line. Millitary section 8 is one of the many benefits that he recieved for being an ex marine. We are not alcholics, drug users, dealers, missing teeth, dirty or nasty. We are very clean and Godly Christians! We both work full time jobs while raising four well mannered boys. So to Mary, Rick and the other ignorant people on here who do not know every one situation and just being judgemental on something you don't
understand, Get A Clue!!

Sad

You don't understand nor care to understand. It's like saying blondes are stupid perhaps you are!! Born with a defect can't walk for long but I can, can't stand or sit for long in my younger years I did work. But now according to you instead of being one that needs help we should be boxed in a room or shot. Great country.

Wow Mary, tell me how you really feel.

Section 8 allows families to be able to pay 30% of their income to rent unlike the 80% I pay. It allows them to afford to live; buy crazy things like food and clothing for their kids. Your rude and insensitive to the needs of others. Not all people are the scum you speak of. Most people I know on section 8 are long term tenants who take care of their homes---keeps their house clean and maintained.

I work 9hrs a day and barely make enough to live. I would be extremely grateful to have section 8. Landlords should see Section 8 as a needed service to better the lives of others. I don't know where you live but those I know on Section 8 work. Not lazy.

Your a total idiot, its so sad people like you exist. maybe you haven't experienced enough hardships in your life, maybe you need to. Karma's a #@!&$ , they say. What goes around comes around loser.

You suck too

If they destroy (learn to spell) HUD subsidized property and don't repair damages they lose their section 8 voucher. Don't be so discriminating. I rent through HUD (section 8) and I'm a very clean person thank you. Not goverment waste. It helps the poor, disabled and the elderly which someday you may experience.

My gf had section eight for ever. Her landlord loved her. When I found out about this section eight stuff, I bought a house and became her landlord.. Working out pretty good for us.. About to get another..

Jay, I believe it's spelled they're.

You suck
