Exactly. Some of these videos are just to garner a collaboration of hate and mistrust. Tenants in general can tear up your property. Obviously these landlords who consistantly have foul renters are not a good judge of character if this happens every time probably because they are solely focused on credit score, work status or outward appearance, maybe?
@@anonymousprivet1227 That is because most landlords are clueless wombats.,. All they have to do is ask the local police or sheriff first how to do a local background check. They have tips and a program to help with that. Want to go national, FBI, want to go global, see if I did something overseas? Interpol are the people who help them with that, now your background check is done! FREE OF CHARGE. I know a few landlords who did that, no trouble with tenants at all. Oh one more thing , after the background check, landlords even know if I was in psychiatric care. How about that?
Not necessarily. I’ve had section 8 and I took care of the place. The landlord on the other hand ducted tape everything. I had to fix with my own money to keep the place right. So when it comes down to it, it depends on the person. It has nothing to do with section 8 . Because you could have bad landlords and bad tenants.
Not always the tenant had a friend who moved in a building on sex 8 within 5 months mold was on the ceiling in the place and she complained she said the owner did nothing so she took it to the people who got her section 8 sadly when it went to court he also had other violations and building codes which was deeply sad he never gave back deposits either i felt really bad for her and never went for section 8 But i do agree it be the people and sometimes the owners and landlords
I'm a single Mom who works part time. I'm also a Section 8 Tenant and I have taken very good care of all of my Landlord's properties. Thank you Mr. Mark Shylk and other good Landlords for understanding and providing housing to Section 8 participants who need affordable decent housing.
I just hate how people complain about living in a bad neighborhood move into a section 8 home in a good neighborhood then destroy everything. You can take people out of the ghetto but not the ghetto out of people!
I did section eight. Only issues some did not have income at all. The rent was 1200. They had tp pay like 60 to 80 dollars. Then the water bill would go thru the roof. So decide fair market vaule. Now i renting 1600 a month. Cash floor is 900 a month. Advise to all raise the rent 5 to 10 percent a year and add coin laundry 2 bucket a wash to help with water bill.
SECTION 8 GOES ON INCOME. THEY'LL PAY ALMOST ALL IF THEY SEE THE TENANT CANNOT PAY AND IT ALSO DEPENDS ON # OF PEOPLE IN HOUSEHOLD JUST LIKE ANY OTHER FED PROG, SORRY 4 CAPS NOT SHOUTING
Thee best way to handle a water bill situation is establish a reasonable liveable limit within the lease. Anything above that limit is tenant portion. Section 8 does allow tenant and land owners or agents to negotiate leases as long as the main requirements are observed.
I just got on housing...I'm 70...I keep my apt spotless...my landlord never took it..until I rented his Dump and turned it into a beautiful place to live...so all people are not Destructive...and yes I am blessed to have a landlord who appreciate what I have done for his property and that I got on housing...
I lived in an apartment that wasn't on section 8, and was going thru inspection for the apartment to be section 8, landlord agree to go thru inspection but the apartment above me left tub running and water was dripping into my apartment, instead of him fixing the hole in the ceiling, he told me to put my silk tree in the kitchen to hide it he had a whole month b4 the inspection, God blessed me with getting into a program to buy a home, now have brought two homes and will be building for the first time, ladies there so much out there for you to get ahead, when I brought my first house my mortgage was cheaper than my rent, look into all the programs out there not just section 8, your city have so much to give you to get started on your own, I was a single mother of 4 each one of my kids has brought their own home by 30 years old, you can have your own. Its out there for you, start with your city.
I lived in a section 8 complex for 10 years…I raised my son their while I went to college…I left the unit in immaculate condition when I moved out…gratitude was the reason
I just got on section 8 with my husband who got very sick with long haul covid. I am a respectable person and we have no intentions of tearing up anything.
I've lived in section 8 property and my apt looked as good as when I started. If they don't let you check it regularly or call for repairs then you should question the inside.
What, hold up!!! I truly appreciate ur support but I’m a BABY on real estate and business. I pride myself on just wanting to be your friend and let u know I’m standing on the shoulder of giants!!!
I'm a section 8 tenant. I have ihss caregiver and my home is immaculate. I have a slum landlord who owns over 100 properties a gas station and a pest control company. We have tree roots growing in the galvanized plumbing. Property owner refuses to maintain. Nextdoor neighbor had plumbing issues. When the plumber snaked the situation all of us had roaches. Fair housing authority takes over and I'm filing a lawsuit. Pursuant to landlord tenant law property owner has the responsibility.
What the f*** does you leaving your property have to do with people getting help that are from DV poor homes or otherwise have to do with them leaving their home in poor conditions or not there are millionaire TH-camrs millionaire actors that leave their apartments in shambles why are you categoring leaving an apartment in poor condition to people that get assistant from the f****** government I can't with you people I can't with you people every individual is different rent out to people that are responsible and is not against the law nor is it necessary for you to make a video to make it hard as f*** for people to find places to live because you suit fit to think that you're mad because you have to pay a full price for something and they don't this is discrimination as best in one day it will be noticed I am flagging the f*** out of this video it is so disgusting how you treat these people
Please don't bash all section 8s. Sobriety is more a factor. I am section 8 and contribute to my management and neighbors. For example, cleaning, painting and picking up trash outside. I am grateful for affordable housing, and contribute to improvements for free. Everybody benefits.
Some of the section 8 tenants leave the place tore the F up. They make people on section 8 look bad. Some people do right. They keep there places clean and clean when they leave. Section 8 should tell there applicants if you leave a place tore up then you lose your section 8. Bottom line
I own a 4 bedroom home . I live full time in it and rented out the other 3 to earn extra cash. I won’t go into details but after 8 years I finally called it quits because of health issues …. Cancer. From a scale of 1-10 ,, how would I rate my tenants? A 2 !
Being on section 8 off and thru out my adult life I can tell you with confidence it's the SECTION 8 tenants who have been in the program for years that do not tear up property's. it's EASY to get on the program and even EASIER to be kicked off . You leave destroyed property YOU LOSE YOUR SECTION 8 . so it's not in a renters interest to leave damaged dirty property. Or they lose their vouchers so ID BE WARY OF NEW CERTIFICATE HOLDERS and for them just verify how they left their previous residences isn't that the point of checking references ? Makes more sense to me than stereo typing ALL SECT 8 TENANTS into one catagory of DESTRUCTIVE just because of a few . Yes there are always gonna be bad tenants but just being on section 8 doesn't automatically make you high risk
I can say you're def 100% right about that. The tenants that have been on the program for a while are the best. They know how it works and are thankful to have a solid landlord. thnx
If they showed how the landlords are slum and how they can’t wait for section 8 tenants to need something fix and how the landlords try to proposition section 8 tenants the tenants would be rich….
that's true, but they can still be nasty, I had a tenant I had to evict just because she was dirty and brought roaches... Section 8 can't keep them clean...
Require a Sec 8 Good Renters Certificate IF your area offers it. In Indiana like maybe 10% do it and generally better quality tenants. Use a lease even month to month so IF they stop paying and Sec 8 does too you have a record. In Indiana they recommended to add an addendum of property condition with photos to lease, it seemed to keep the bad apples far away.
Love this. Very informative. Hey Mr haskins this is your va friend. Can u please show me how to do a subject to. Please. All I need is 2 be shown 1 time. 💌
Any tenent that leaves damage or a mess should be held accountable, and blacklisted off renting. But not a fan of these landlords, you buy up property so other people can't have home ownership. And the owners living there keep up their property, the renters do not so you are tearing down neighborhoods. Landlords should be required to live among their tenents.
@John Woodhouse can u give me an education on airbnb. I was thinking of doing just that. I have a sec. 8 tenant. And it's not worth it imo. But I guess it depends on what State u live in. But I'm leaning towards airibnb. I feel if done right u can better protect yourself as It's treated more like a business. Whereas as a landlord its not.
I help a landlord that has a very good reputation around town and own some very nice luxury apartments I've seen tenants leave lots of garbage and even steal light switches out of the wall and have maggots all over the hallway all around the garbage
I've never tore up a property on or off sec 8 but I have had 2 landlords try and lie on me so that they could keep my deposit!!! Always do an exit walk thru and video& take pictures of Everything cause sum ppl are just money hungry !!!! I've Learned my lesson everyone isn't honest
that would be nice, I wish things weren't like this. I remember being a renter, and before I paid off my house. It's not a good feeling of always owing the "rent man". But the sad truth is, this is the system we're all locked into so we can chose to be on either side. Which side is better for you?? It's simply tough..
So you want more handouts? You think you’re entitled to even more? How is renting a scam? Do you think you’re entitled to free housing? The landlord worked hard to acquire his properties and you think his business is a scam? Go away. In fact, buy a house, let someone live in it for free while you pay the mortgage, taxes, insurance, electric, upkeep and whatever else needs to be paid to maintain that home and see how you like it.
@@dcg590 oh Lord here we go look up German rental stability nobody is saying landlords are bad but we need a better system that's just a fact if you want to see landlord greed in action just drive any California city lmao
He won't fix a door off the hinges and wants to put up a sheet? That is kind of tacky. I think that man should get his security back. He didn't leave a crumb or speck anywhere. It looks like he scrubbed the stove and even cleaned behind it and behind the fridge.
I have been trying to get sec8 for years, that is a beautiful home.If you would see the house I'm In, you would die. Nothing repaired,holes in roof,I put up a tarp now need a new one can't find a place to go,rents are sky high.Im down to no heat,no hot water.walls collapsing. I know all landlords are not like mine.Its just a sham.
I am on section 8 in Huntsville and everybody is saying we're not taking section 8 we not taking section 8 what in the world is going on with section 8
I'm waiting to see what's wrong.. What did the tenants do??? The kitchen is outdated. The cabinets are old.. These are the homes that people hook up just to get a section 8 tenant so they can get a check.. I bet you his kitchen and his home don't look like that... They rent them homes out with No care
Like any tenants Section 8 tenants vary. Their is an increased chance of problems with tenants that have the rents paid for them rather them being responsible for rent and damages but it is not absolute.
I smoke. But I've never ever smoked inside my apartments, homes or condos. The tar, nicotine and other residuals settle into everything from the light fixtures, to the carpets if there is any. It seeps into everything! Sure if you clean and deodorize when you move, it will kill the smell... FOR ONLY A MINUTE. Eventually the smell will come back. You cannot get rid of it all unless there is an expensive in depth cleaning done. Rule of thumb: do not ever smoke inside, not the place you rent, or even if you own. There's places outside you can light up. If you don't want to go outside, then you don't really want one so I'd say, just quit. Rent like you own it people! I do and I've always had owners tell me I'm the best tenant ever!
Section 8 tenant family in wv. We care.we take care of our things and def want to live in nice. I've begged and pleaded for plumbing repairs for over 8 months. Have lived since right before, wv lockdown, with got water coming from kitchen sink when knobs are off. The valve is not turning water off fully and valve is as off as it can be to prevent increased utility costs.if can becheap landlord/ who wants the $ for rent but fails to do routine maintenance and fix broken leaking plumbing issues. We are clean decent people and for section8 to be government program one would think housing would be kept up to working condition. Scum landlords are a problem with in these housing assistance programs. Landlord in particular Is out of Ohio.has property in Ohio Virginia West Virginia and PA. Not all section8 tenants are bad. Like us, we want things in working order.maintained when we pay the majority of rent out of pocket. Agency's and landlords are at times worse than the worst of tenants.js.
Man I wish my aunt got rid of hers. Not all section 8 people are bad but some are the worst. The guy she is dealing has people up there living with him. He is always getting drunk. Heck crashed into the garage the other day and passed out in the car. And I guessing section 8 won't pay for that. He said he will pay for. I need to see it to belive it.
Dont know what they're complaining about- it looks emaculate to me! I've cleaned up worse! 3 dumpsters, 50' road side curb pickup, 3 dogs & 2 pest control for roaches. Dog s--- in the house. All doors kicked in, etc......
A lot of times the renters come from project housing or something similar and have no idea how to live in an actual home (I’ve seen it) then other times the landlords are slumlords. So it’s an even thing sort of😏
I’d love to get a section eight house, and would never, ever live in a trashed house or apartment! Whoever left it like that is a pig and a thief. How much you want to bet they’re the ones going around complaining of no affordable housing and slumlords? They make life twice as hard for those us who are the working poor.
I use to work for a housing authority. It is not true that ALLLLL Section 8 tenants are nssty. I live in an apt that has no section 8 and the maintenance man told me some nasty stories about some nasty tenants. Yall would be amazed how nasty people are, no matter where they live.
Yes And No... For Section 8 tenants.... And... Also....That Goes For ... NON ! Section 8... Tenants. Its just if the person /people have ... Respect For Another's.... Person's Property .
He said that he didn't Allow Smoking 🚬 and it was in the Lease. How do you inforce that? What measure do U take if a tenant is Smoking Cigarettes in the Unit?
All people on Section 8 are not nasty. It is a personal representative of that person. That's why it's so hard to find a descent clean home. Everyone should not be judge by other people's preference of living.
It's not the Title of having Section 8 Housing, but it is definitely the person 😊. So if that person is nasty ,unclean, or just Trifling , then that's what gives Section 8 a Bad name and Repatation 😔😌🙏
First of all. Section 8 tenants are to be checked out thoroughly just like any other perspective open market tenant. I feel like the landlords are wanting 2020 money for a 1980s unit. I worked in Housing and I've seen more greed from the Landlords but most tenants get a bad rap. There's good and bad tenants just like there's good and bad landlords.
The landlords want 2020 money because no matter how old the house is our taxes still go up. I have a few units that are over 70 years old and I pay over 2000 dollars just in school taxes alone for one unit. That doesn't account for borough,property, county. Just a little bit of a different perspective is all
@@frankenfaq4706 l understand that but if you want the highest rent Section 8 can pay for a unit, at least do a few updates. Believe me, landlords definitely are not losing any money on these units nor should they. It's a business. I turned down many landlord rent increases that were above the annual increase. because they were no way reasonable according to their condition for the rent they were requesting. There are guidelines we all needed to follow.
All my section 8 tenants left my properties spotless, it was the college kids with co-signers that often left my properties a mess. My tenants on section 8 also saved me during Covid because a lot of my other tenants had to get out of their leases for loss of school, or job because of the pandemic.
As someone who lives in a college town, I know this allll too well lol. Anytime I have been in a house that college students have stayed in, they were damaged. It makes me sad because they are great houses, too. It's a shame.
@Jenna I’m so glad you said this because as a Section8 tenant it’s hard to find a place because of the stigma attached to being on Section8 we get landlords who are scared to rent to us on the basis that another tenant did them wrong I always ask that a perspective landlord please come to my current rental to see how I live because you can’t hide filth if you’re trying to perpetrate something I lived in my unit 17yrs and the next 12yrs and now current place 4yrs so let’s see if I have to move but I did have a charge on my unit of 17yrs it was $20 for 1 kitchen tile because I put my fridge back too soon on a new tile floor and it got squished but I replaced it with another tile but that’s it and mind you I raised 7 children and I never had a hole in any wall or tore up blinds or a broken window all of my places were clean very spotless and no roaches,rats are anything else and my walls weren’t nasty because when my kids did something wrong one of their punishments were me handing them a bucket filled with pine Sol are other stuff and rags and tell them to get to cleaning walls etc and hey I’m sure kids wouldn’t say no to cleaning up that’s was a very less stressful punishment to do.
@@dcg590 how is that a handout? Damn do you even know how the Section8 program works that was very judgemental really, but you know reading the comments I knew someone like you wasn’t too far behind in saying what you said Wow!!!!
@@idaleksarivera765 you are not getting a handout and evidently you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing so don’t even pay that person with the negativity let them stew in their own misery you can tell they’re lonely!!!!
@@dcg590 I wished I did... the government take so much from families everyday. We have a little left over for our hard slavery. Insurance companies grocery stores doctors pharmaceutical everyone get a bigger pice of our own pie than we do! Smh!
My dad & I do property management, and we take section 8. Once a tenant moves out, we do a walk-through together, and compare it to the one that was done when they moved in. There are things that are expected, like wear & tear, nail holes in the wall from hanging a picture, etc. We are required by law to provide an itemized statement of the deductions taken from their deposit, and return it within 2 weeks. So, we have had clean tenants, and some really nasty ones. So, it's the person, because they either care or don't care. Just because they are on section 8 doesn't mean a damn thing. It boils down to having pride and keeping your place clean, or if you want to like like a pig in your own filth. That has nothing to do with section 8. That's the choice of the tenant.
I rented three rooms in my private home to a family … two sisters and daughter. They were pigs ! They destroyed my home ! Brought an infestation of roaches and mice. So I kicked the whole lot out four weeks ago!
I believe most people have good intentions. Our section 8 tenant, left early and her cousin broke in and trashed the place.. our non section 8 tenant left the place in worse condition. I actually liked the section 8 process. Rent was always on time!
Jesus Christ my mother I'm trying to convince her to run out to anyone and everyone and videos in general making it seem like you can even title a situation as if they're a different breathing others device if they should or not as if they're not human this is crazy you all should be banned from TH-cam even speaking about the situation as if section 8 tenants are not normal human Americans that go through things my cousin is on section 8 and she is a insurance salesman and nothing would be better than someone to relieve you of the stress because she has no father in her child's life that she lost so much and it doesn't have to be personal and is not your business as long as they're paying you your rent why are you isolating and making them as if they are a different breed of renters if the renter is good they're good if a renter is bad they're bad you're making it harder for people with housing to find properties that are amazing just because you are scared typically acting like it is a thing how dare you lawyers doctors anyone I don't care who you are financial advisors can apply for housing there's no difference they're all normal human beings trying to make it in life and the only reason why people are bent off about it is because they have to pay the full price and they don't get over yourself there's a rule in housing once you you financially are stable they take you off or they pursue for you to own your own home stop making these stereotypical things about housing people so they can survive and live in peace instead of living in a box like a slavery camp because they can't find normal houses to live in without everybody in their mama having the same issues as them
I'm so glad you showed this because people need to see that being NASTY is not exclusive to lower economic status! Wealthy people destroy properties too, and they often don't pay what they owe. Also, many working families don't earn a living wage and need rent assistance but most are not negligent, bad people! We need to stop shaming people for being poor! Thank you!
No such thing as a living wage. You are paid what the job is worth, not because of your personal life. Don't have children you can't pay for, it is not other people's job to make up the difference.
My mom raised us with the attitude that just because you are poor, doesn't mean you have to "look" poor. We grew up poor but my mom made sure our homes looked nice and were clean. She had pretty high standards in that regard.
@@saran3214 You do realize there are people who don’t have children who don’t make a living wage, right? Are you not aware of the difficulty in finding affordable housing that is happening nationwide?
I am almost 70 and I'm on Section 8 in Sr housing..my place is spotless ..We have inspections every 3 months.. fail 3 and you are terminated..that should be the case with any tennents..it's protects everyone..
Typically it's expected to do a sweep/mop/vacuum, dispose of all garbage and ensure any holes are repaired. If they expect anything more than that they are delusional. This is why dated pictures or videos are a MUST before you move in and after all your stuff is moved out.
One tried that on me, I wasn't going...Me & my daughter did good work & she took pics...Had the maintenance man call her while I was there to say it was excellent...She still tried, but my man had his lawyer on deck give her a call, quickly gave it back...She was mad we were leaving...Some landlords dnt appreciate good tenants either, works both ways...lol
Oh another thing...She had 3 families who got her on paying rent for about 3 yrs...Thought she was gonna get money back thru me!..Sorry not happening!..lol
I was on Section 8 for close to 20 years, raising my kids as a single mom. I so appreciate the help front Section 8. When I was on Section 8 I kept my single story spotless clean, dishes washed, floor swept and mopped, beds made up, windows washed. We did all repairs, cause the owner lived in another state, we did all the yard maintenance, front and backyard. So I wanna say It's the kind of person you rent to, it's not just all Section 8 tenant's that have a bad reputation. Do your background checks, before you rent.
As a landlord I appreciate your comment. I have the worse section 8 tenants on earth. Horrific. Is good to know there are folks like you who care about where they live. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. It’s always assumed that section 8 participants are destructive, when in fact that’s far from the truth. There are many participants that work very hard to maintain a roof over our heads and we can’t afford nor do we want them live in inhabitable conditions. Granted there are some who choose otherwise, but in most cases they are usually terminated for violating the rules in which we are held by. Hopefully this stereotype will change for those who do there best to be respectful to the landlords that are willing to provide housing.
Nice, I hope its helping to add more good inventory to the lists as theres a huge waiting list in my towm... I wonder how much of an impact we're having?
From my past experience with dealing with Section 8 tenants in the rental market over the last 10 years they are no different than non-section 8 tenants. Everyone should be treated the same way and screened the same way regardless from my landlord prospective. I know 2 states Colorado and Nevada that passed a law that you can't discriminate against section 8, unemployment income, and etc from renting from them. The thing that I love about my section 8 tenants is its gauntied rent money especially during the Covid virus Pandemic too. So I strongly recommend section 8 tenants myself as a landlord. I run everyone the same way regardless.
No, you’re taking money you didn’t earn. You’re not a tenant, you’re a drain on tax payers who don’t get any help because they didn’t screw their life up. Sec 8 is a joke. You should get 5 years at the most period.
Overall, the tenant seems to have left the place in great shape, hopefully, he will get some of his deposit back given you only have to do normal upkeep & cleaning.
Well, they broke the lease w/o notice. But it does look like they had respect for the good landlord with the condition they left thr place in. One landlord even gave me a $75 bonus when I moved out because if the good condition. He said he could rent it for more because of the care I took.
Thank you so much for doing this I waited five long years as a single parent low income to get into housing!!! Only to find out nobody wanted to rent to section 8 HUD. I have never been so careful immaculate when I moved out of one in my life!!! God bless you guys!!! I will share I hope you do more of these this is great
Well, I'm just trying to do my best in sharing the truth. I love my section 8 tenants, but the get a bad reputation and it's my obligation to correct it. Thnx for watching
@@dcg590 what’s that supposed to mean? My mother was a single mother. My father was MURDERED which made her a single mother..and yes,they were married. Shit happens lady…but I’m sure your perfect?
i had tenants about 14 section 8 tenants for a average of 5 - 10 years some moved but to a bigger house or get there own house on programs that section 8 offers. all left them in good condition because section 8 do a after moving inspection and if its bad they lose their certificate and the rent money so no problems. i always check there they lived before and do a drive by and not take their landlord alone because if they bad they want them out now and will say anything to get them gone.
I lived in a section 8 apt. for 7 years. When I was moving, the manager came for the walk-through she said it was going to be the easiest turn over they've ever done. Not all people with section 8 tear up the property.
Im 52 been out on my own since i was 17 im on Sec8 im planning on leaving my apt cleaning it up and giving them there keys every body dont tear up apartments
Oh my I had a horrible experience in the early 2000s . Be very strict with these tenants because Section 8 will fight against the land lord for these tenants . It’s sad because when a good section 8 tenants come the bad ones have ruined it.
Yep, seen other videos where bad apples ruin a place for any reason and make section 8 decent renters look bad so those who rent a place think twice if to accept section 8 anytime. section has rules for renters to keep all working order nytime they check a place. so if something not right or u wanna add new maybe then ask if ok to do so and they help do what they can at time. i mean renters may even add new so can show a bonus to place cause u not gotta add updates any by chance. i mean if u getting help with rent , then u can atleast keep tabs and add what u allowed to be like upgrading a house in ways.
For a landlord, Section 8 may be good but I have personally had to move out of 2 different neighborhoods because of Section 8 families literally destroying them with bad behavior. Throwing trash everywhere, having tons of shady people visiting all times of the day and night, playing basketball in the middle of the street at 2AM, constant altercations with residents and on and on. I finally moved into a Section 8 free neighborhood. Way more money but worth it for the piece of mind.
Wow, that is not bad. I've seen worst. Also, landlords will cover up things. Do patch work and it don't last long. That fold door I hate because it may work when you move in, open it 5 times and off the hinge. My house I'm in they patched it up and now roof ceiling leaks, house settling BAD so doors stick, floors not leveled. And, BUGS OMG! So, of course landlord taking all year to fix. Oh, and my rent up to date and I HAVE FIXED THINGS TOO. So, there are some good tenants out here.
I lived in section 8 for 9 months, going through a separation in marriage . I kept my little duplex spotless. It’s the individual not the section 8.

I agree 👍 💯 🙆♂️ 👏 👌
Thanks for the game as always. Thank goodness I've had mostly good experience with Sec. 8 tenants. This tenant respected you and the property.
I did section eight. Only issues some did not have income at all. The rent was 1200. They had tp pay like 60 to 80 dollars. Then the water bill would go thru the roof.
So decide fair market vaule. Now i renting 1600 a month. Cash floor is 900 a month.
Advise to all raise the rent 5 to 10 percent a year and add coin laundry 2 bucket a wash to help with water bill.
SECTION 8 GOES ON INCOME. THEY'LL PAY ALMOST ALL IF THEY SEE THE TENANT CANNOT PAY AND IT ALSO DEPENDS ON # OF PEOPLE IN HOUSEHOLD JUST LIKE ANY OTHER FED PROG, SORRY 4 CAPS NOT SHOUTING
Thee best way to handle a water bill situation is establish a reasonable liveable limit within the lease. Anything above that limit is tenant portion. Section 8 does allow tenant and land owners or agents to negotiate leases as long as the main requirements are observed.
Yes.... Everyone wants to focus on the negative, Thank you for showing the other side. Awesome Commentary.
Thanks for watching! We both love our section 8 tenants..
I just got on housing...I'm 70...I keep my apt spotless...my landlord never took it..until I rented his Dump and turned it into a beautiful place to live...so all people are not Destructive...and yes I am blessed to have a landlord who appreciate what I have done for his property and that I got on housing...
1050.00 a month for that little shack??!!! What city is this???
I lived in an apartment that wasn't on section 8, and was going thru inspection for the apartment to be section 8, landlord agree to go thru inspection but the apartment above me left tub running and water was dripping into my apartment, instead of him fixing the hole in the ceiling, he told me to put my silk tree in the kitchen to hide it he had a whole month b4 the inspection, God blessed me with getting into a program to buy a home, now have brought two homes and will be building for the first time, ladies there so much out there for you to get ahead, when I brought my first house my mortgage was cheaper than my rent, look into all the programs out there not just section 8, your city have so much to give you to get started on your own, I was a single mother of 4 each one of my kids has brought their own home by 30 years old, you can have your own. Its out there for you, start with your city.
I lived in a section 8 complex for 10 years…I raised my son their while I went to college…I left the unit in immaculate condition when I moved out…gratitude was the reason
Just found this video - I love the exchange of ideas between 2 entrepeneurs... brilliant...
I just got on section 8 with my husband who got very sick with long haul covid. I am a respectable person and we have no intentions of tearing up anything.
I've lived in section 8 property and my apt looked as good as when I started. If they don't let you check it regularly or call for repairs then you should question the inside.
Excellent, great video. Kris you are interesting, you know everything on this stuff , am learning.
What, hold up!!! I truly appreciate ur support but I’m a BABY on real estate and business. I pride myself on just wanting to be your friend and let u know I’m standing on the shoulder of giants!!!
I'm a section 8 tenant. I have ihss caregiver and my home is immaculate. I have a slum landlord who owns over 100 properties a gas station and a pest control company. We have tree roots growing in the galvanized plumbing. Property owner refuses to maintain. Nextdoor neighbor had plumbing issues. When the plumber snaked the situation all of us had roaches. Fair housing authority takes over and I'm filing a lawsuit. Pursuant to landlord tenant law property owner has the responsibility.
I’ve never been on section 8 but i always get my deposit back when I move. I leave it spotless
What the f*** does you leaving your property have to do with people getting help that are from DV poor homes or otherwise have to do with them leaving their home in poor conditions or not there are millionaire TH-camrs millionaire actors that leave their apartments in shambles why are you categoring leaving an apartment in poor condition to people that get assistant from the f****** government I can't with you people I can't with you people every individual is different rent out to people that are responsible and is not against the law nor is it necessary for you to make a video to make it hard as f*** for people to find places to live because you suit fit to think that you're mad because you have to pay a full price for something and they don't this is discrimination as best in one day it will be noticed I am flagging the f*** out of this video it is so disgusting how you treat these people
Seeing this is why I don’t have rental properties. And then a few years ago you could not evict them when they did not pay rent.
Please don't bash all section 8s. Sobriety is more a factor. I am section 8 and contribute to my management and neighbors. For example, cleaning, painting and picking up trash outside. I am grateful for affordable housing, and contribute to improvements for free. Everybody benefits.
what, we both LOVE our section 8 tenants, they're great people.
Some of the section 8 tenants leave the place tore the F up. They make people on section 8 look bad. Some people do right. They keep there places clean and clean when they leave. Section 8 should tell there applicants if you leave a place tore up then you lose your section 8. Bottom line
It just takes a few to ruin it for everyone
I own a 4 bedroom home . I live full time in it and rented out the other 3 to earn extra cash. I won’t go into details but after 8 years I finally called it quits because of health issues …. Cancer. From a scale of 1-10 ,, how would I rate my tenants? A 2 !
Although, this a year ago, Nice size house left it in great condition, it’s unfortunate the rush/out so sudden.
God Bless
My dad has section 8 homes in Cincinnati and he always says it’s the people you don’t expect to leave messes that leave the most mess. Lol
Being on section 8 off and thru out my adult life I can tell you with confidence it's the SECTION 8 tenants who have been in the program for years that do not tear up property's. it's EASY to get on the program and even EASIER to be kicked off . You leave destroyed property YOU LOSE YOUR SECTION 8 . so it's not in a renters interest to leave damaged dirty property. Or they lose their vouchers so ID BE WARY OF NEW CERTIFICATE HOLDERS and for them just verify how they left their previous residences isn't that the point of checking references ? Makes more sense to me than stereo typing ALL SECT 8 TENANTS into one catagory of DESTRUCTIVE just because of a few . Yes there are always gonna be bad tenants but just being on section 8 doesn't automatically make you high risk
I can say you're def 100% right about that. The tenants that have been on the program for a while are the best. They know how it works and are thankful to have a solid landlord. thnx
If they showed how the landlords are slum and how they can’t wait for section 8 tenants to need something fix and how the landlords try to proposition section 8 tenants the tenants would be rich….
My wife and I are going to renting to section 8
Thanks for the confirmation
Great advice & video
Lol - funny thing is I've seen non section 8 tenants Leave properties even worst that this - this is actually pretty good.
True dat, it all depends on so much in each person
Its sad when a few bad apples ruin it for those who dont live like this.
WOW! I rent to section 8 glad to someone post a video ha e tons of photos
A tenant either cares about where they live or don't. Section 8 doesn't mean all tenants are bad. I currently on it and I care about anywhere ì move
Section 8 does home inspections so the tenants can't let the place get too messed up while living there.
that's true, but they can still be nasty, I had a tenant I had to evict just because she was dirty and brought roaches... Section 8 can't keep them clean...
You are lucky, one in a million to have a section 8 tenant move out without any damage !!!
Require a Sec 8 Good Renters Certificate IF your area offers it. In Indiana like maybe 10% do it and generally better quality tenants. Use a lease even month to month so IF they stop paying and Sec 8 does too you have a record. In Indiana they recommended to add an addendum of property condition with photos to lease, it seemed to keep the bad apples far away.
Love this. Very informative.

Any tenent that leaves damage or a mess should be held accountable, and blacklisted off renting. But not a fan of these landlords, you buy up property so other people can't have home ownership. And the owners living there keep up their property, the renters do not so you are tearing down neighborhoods. Landlords should be required to live among their tenents.
Lol, i like how you did that. Thanks for showing that not all section 8 voucher holders are terrible.
I absolutely LOVE my section 8 peeps, they're grateful for a great place to live and to be treated w/ respect. It's all good here.
If they tear it up take them to court and sue them for the damage. The courts do work with you.
I thinking about renting my downstairs but waiting to see if my husband will agree!
@John Woodhouse can u give me an education on airbnb. I was thinking of doing just that. I have a sec. 8 tenant. And it's not worth it imo. But I guess it depends on what State u live in. But I'm leaning towards airibnb. I feel if done right u can better protect yourself as It's treated more like a business. Whereas as a landlord its not.
I help a landlord that has a very good reputation around town and own some very nice luxury apartments I've seen tenants leave lots of garbage and even steal light switches out of the wall and have maggots all over the hallway all around the garbage
Section 8 tenants are diverse. Just like non section 8 tenants.
Whatever that is for walls is so antiquated
U might be right, but it seems to be working for him
I've never tore up a property on or off sec 8 but I have had 2 landlords try and lie on me so that they could keep my deposit!!! Always do an exit walk thru and video& take pictures of Everything cause sum ppl are just money hungry !!!! I've
Learned my lesson everyone isn't honest
Yes, always take pics b4 and after u move in. U simply never know about the integrity of peeps
If you want to rent out homes always buy houses with no basements never give tenants access to the garage. No carpet.
We need to set a system up where we eliminate this entire rental scam and get everybody in there own home
that would be nice, I wish things weren't like this. I remember being a renter, and before I paid off my house. It's not a good feeling of always owing the "rent man". But the sad truth is, this is the system we're all locked into so we can chose to be on either side. Which side is better for you?? It's simply tough..
So you want more handouts? You think you’re entitled to even more? How is renting a scam? Do you think you’re entitled to free housing? The landlord worked hard to acquire his properties and you think his business is a scam? Go away. In fact, buy a house, let someone live in it for free while you pay the mortgage, taxes, insurance, electric, upkeep and whatever else needs to be paid to maintain that home and see how you like it.
@@dcg590 oh Lord here we go look up German rental stability nobody is saying landlords are bad but we need a better system that's just a fact if you want to see landlord greed in action just drive any California city lmao
He won't fix a door off the hinges and wants to put up a sheet? That is kind of tacky. I think that man should get his security back. He didn't leave a crumb or speck anywhere. It looks like he scrubbed the stove and even cleaned behind it and behind the fridge.

I have been trying to get sec8 for years, that is a beautiful home.If you would see the house I'm In, you would die. Nothing repaired,holes in roof,I put up a tarp now need a new one can't find a place to go,rents are sky high.Im down to no heat,no hot water.walls collapsing. I know all landlords are not like mine.Its just a sham.
I am on section 8 in Huntsville and everybody is saying we're not taking section 8 we not taking section 8 what in the world is going on with section 8
Sounds like u have to educate ur ll's out there.
I'm waiting to see what's wrong.. What did the tenants do??? The kitchen is outdated. The cabinets are old.. These are the homes that people hook up just to get a section 8 tenant so they can get a check.. I bet you his kitchen and his home don't look like that... They rent them homes out with No care
what did you see was wrong w/ the house? I thought it was in pretty good shape.
Like any tenants Section 8 tenants vary. Their is an increased chance of problems with tenants that have the rents paid for them rather them being responsible for rent and damages but it is not absolute.
I smoke. But I've never ever smoked inside my apartments, homes or condos. The tar, nicotine and other residuals settle into everything from the light fixtures, to the carpets if there is any. It seeps into everything! Sure if you clean and deodorize when you move, it will kill the smell... FOR ONLY A MINUTE. Eventually the smell will come back. You cannot get rid of it all unless there is an expensive in depth cleaning done.
Rule of thumb: do not ever smoke inside, not the place you rent, or even if you own. There's places outside you can light up. If you don't want to go outside, then you don't really want one so I'd say, just quit.
Rent like you own it people! I do and I've always had owners tell me I'm the best tenant ever!
Section 8 tenant family in wv. We care.we take care of our things and def want to live in nice. I've begged and pleaded for plumbing repairs for over 8 months. Have lived since right before, wv lockdown, with got water coming from kitchen sink when knobs are off. The valve is not turning water off fully and valve is as off as it can be to prevent increased utility costs.if can becheap landlord/ who wants the $ for rent but fails to do routine maintenance and fix broken leaking plumbing issues. We are clean decent people and for section8 to be government program one would think housing would be kept up to working condition. Scum landlords are a problem with in these housing assistance programs. Landlord in particular Is out of Ohio.has property in Ohio Virginia West Virginia and PA. Not all section8 tenants are bad. Like us, we want things in working order.maintained when we pay the majority of rent out of pocket. Agency's and landlords are at times worse than the worst of tenants.js.
Man I wish my aunt got rid of hers. Not all section 8 people are bad but some are the worst. The guy she is dealing has people up there living with him. He is always getting drunk. Heck crashed into the garage the other day and passed out in the car. And I guessing section 8 won't pay for that. He said he will pay for. I need to see it to belive it.
Yes, not all section 8 tenants are created equal
Please don't judge all section applicated with all many keep their place amazing
I don't think we're judging, were actually happy to have the section 8 tenants
Kris, buy a gimbal for your camera, will cost you 2-300$ and improves your quality 10 fold. I would look into DJI Ronin SC.
$1050.00 a month for that house?
Dont know what they're complaining about- it looks emaculate to me! I've cleaned up worse! 3 dumpsters, 50' road side curb pickup, 3 dogs & 2 pest control for roaches. Dog s--- in the house. All doors kicked in, etc......
Did he say 70 rentals. This guy is my new hero.
Yes, Mark is a beast, and extremely empathetic to tenants and business associates. We can learn a lot from him..
A lot of times the renters come from project housing or something similar and have no idea how to live in an actual home (I’ve seen it) then other times the landlords are slumlords. So it’s an even thing sort of😏
I like smaller homes I’d live there it’s perfect size for me I was never a fan of big homes with wasted space
I don't think all of them do but I have seen and heard some horror stories
Where I lived that had section 8 they did inspections on the apartments. That was on Wilmington NC.
I'd rather have 80% of my rent then nothing at all from someone loosing that prestigious job ...that so many lost during covid....
Good stuff.
I’d love to get a section eight house, and would never, ever live in a trashed house or apartment! Whoever left it like that is a pig and a thief. How much you want to bet they’re the ones going around complaining of no affordable housing and slumlords? They make life twice as hard for those us who are the working poor.
That isnot every section 8 person you account we want to leave and have a good looking home ..... !
I use to work for a housing authority. It is not true that ALLLLL Section 8 tenants are nssty. I live in an apt that has no section 8 and the maintenance man told me some nasty stories about some nasty tenants. Yall would be amazed how nasty people are, no matter where they live.
Yes And No...

He said that he didn't Allow Smoking 🚬 and it was in the Lease. How do you inforce that? What measure do U take if a tenant is Smoking Cigarettes in the Unit?
All people on Section 8 are not nasty. It is a personal representative of that person. That's why it's so hard to find a descent clean home. Everyone should not be judge by other people's preference of living.
That is true.i have been in condo and homeowners houses that was very nasty. Now what is their problem since they are buying.take.care
Looks pretty good
What State is this, I like that unit
Truly?? The house was in good condition. Classism has no place in the rental market.
It's not the Title of having Section 8 Housing, but it is definitely the person 😊. So if that person is nasty ,unclean, or just Trifling , then that's what gives Section 8 a Bad name and Repatation 😔😌🙏
A day/night sensor for the front light might be a good idea. :-)
I think I may smell smoke. No deposit back for him.
Not all Section 8 tenants tear up property you have regular people do the same
First of all. Section 8 tenants are to be checked out thoroughly just like any other perspective open market tenant. I feel like the landlords are wanting 2020 money for a 1980s unit. I worked in Housing and I've seen more greed from the Landlords but most tenants get a bad rap. There's good and bad tenants just like there's good and bad landlords.
Simply amazing comment.
Periodt.....
Exactly! I said this as well!
The landlords want 2020 money because no matter how old the house is our taxes still go up. I have a few units that are over 70 years old and I pay over 2000 dollars just in school taxes alone for one unit. That doesn't account for borough,property, county. Just a little bit of a different perspective is all
@@frankenfaq4706 l understand that but if you want the highest rent Section 8 can pay for a unit, at least do a few updates. Believe me, landlords definitely are not losing any money on these units nor should they. It's a business. I turned down many landlord rent increases that were above the annual increase. because they were no way reasonable according to their condition for the rent they were requesting. There are guidelines we all needed to follow.
All my section 8 tenants left my properties spotless, it was the college kids with co-signers that often left my properties a mess. My tenants on section 8 also saved me during Covid because a lot of my other tenants had to get out of their leases for loss of school, or job because of the pandemic.
You don’t have to just be on section 8 to fuck someone property up
Well you had some unicorns.
As someone who lives in a college town, I know this allll too well lol. Anytime I have been in a house that college students have stayed in, they were damaged. It makes me sad because they are great houses, too. It's a shame.
Exactly 💯
@Jenna I’m so glad you said this because as a Section8 tenant it’s hard to find a place because of the stigma attached to being on Section8 we get landlords who are scared to rent to us on the basis that another tenant did them wrong I always ask that a perspective landlord please come to my current rental to see how I live because you can’t hide filth if you’re trying to perpetrate something I lived in my unit 17yrs and the next 12yrs and now current place 4yrs so let’s see if I have to move but I did have a charge on my unit of 17yrs it was $20 for 1 kitchen tile because I put my fridge back too soon on a new tile floor and it got squished but I replaced it with another tile but that’s it and mind you I raised 7 children and I never had a hole in any wall or tore up blinds or a broken window all of my places were clean very spotless and no roaches,rats are anything else and my walls weren’t nasty because when my kids did something wrong one of their punishments were me handing them a bucket filled with pine Sol are other stuff and rags and tell them to get to cleaning walls etc and hey I’m sure kids wouldn’t say no to cleaning up that’s was a very less stressful punishment to do.
Thank you, for showing and proving that not all section 8 renters, destroy properties.
True I been living in my sec8 apt for 4yrs already nd my apt it's the same way when I move in..

@@wileecoyote5749 please Elaborate?
Your tenant left the place IMMACULATE! BETTER THAN MOST LANDLORDS DO WHEN THEY GIVE YOU THE KEYS!
I agree 💯👍
My dad & I do property management, and we take section 8. Once a tenant moves out, we do a walk-through together, and compare it to the one that was done when they moved in. There are things that are expected, like wear & tear, nail holes in the wall from hanging a picture, etc. We are required by law to provide an itemized statement of the deductions taken from their deposit, and return it within 2 weeks. So, we have had clean tenants, and some really nasty ones. So, it's the person, because they either care or don't care. Just because they are on section 8 doesn't mean a damn thing. It boils down to having pride and keeping your place clean, or if you want to like like a pig in your own filth. That has nothing to do with section 8. That's the choice of the tenant.
Good points, I think the general landlord public just doesnt know this.
Thank you.
I had tenants who wanted to live in their own filth!
I rented three rooms in my private home to a family … two sisters and daughter. They were pigs ! They destroyed my home ! Brought an infestation of roaches and mice. So I kicked the whole lot out four weeks ago!
A- f-ing -men!
I believe most people have good intentions. Our section 8 tenant, left early and her cousin broke in and trashed the place.. our non section 8 tenant left the place in worse condition. I actually liked the section 8 process. Rent was always on time!
Jesus Christ my mother I'm trying to convince her to run out to anyone and everyone and videos in general making it seem like you can even title a situation as if they're a different breathing others device if they should or not as if they're not human this is crazy you all should be banned from TH-cam even speaking about the situation as if section 8 tenants are not normal human Americans that go through things my cousin is on section 8 and she is a insurance salesman and nothing would be better than someone to relieve you of the stress because she has no father in her child's life that she lost so much and it doesn't have to be personal and is not your business as long as they're paying you your rent why are you isolating and making them as if they are a different breed of renters if the renter is good they're good if a renter is bad they're bad you're making it harder for people with housing to find properties that are amazing just because you are scared typically acting like it is a thing how dare you lawyers doctors anyone I don't care who you are financial advisors can apply for housing there's no difference they're all normal human beings trying to make it in life and the only reason why people are bent off about it is because they have to pay the full price and they don't get over yourself there's a rule in housing once you you financially are stable they take you off or they pursue for you to own your own home stop making these stereotypical things about housing people so they can survive and live in peace instead of living in a box like a slavery camp because they can't find normal houses to live in without everybody in their mama having the same issues as them

I'm so glad you showed this because people need to see that being NASTY is not exclusive to lower economic status! Wealthy people destroy properties too, and they often don't pay what they owe. Also, many working families don't earn a living wage and need rent assistance but most are not negligent, bad people! We need to stop shaming people for being poor! Thank you!
No such thing as a living wage. You are paid what the job is worth, not because of your personal life. Don't have children you can't pay for, it is not other people's job to make up the difference.
thank you
My mom raised us with the attitude that just because you are poor, doesn't mean you have to "look" poor. We grew up poor but my mom made sure our homes looked nice and were clean. She had pretty high standards in that regard.
Amen Too That This Is So The Truth. However Not Many people are going to agree unfortunately.
@@saran3214 You do realize there are people who don’t have children who don’t make a living wage, right? Are you not aware of the difficulty in finding affordable housing that is happening nationwide?
I am almost 70 and I'm on Section 8 in Sr housing..my place is spotless ..We have inspections every 3 months.. fail 3 and you are terminated..that should be the case with any tennents..it's protects everyone..
I do too,, 55 plus. But here they do NOT evict. It's unreal hard on the rest of us.
THEY LEFT THAT PROPERTY CLEAN. WHAT THE HELL WAS HE EXSPECTING?
They find any little thing to keep the deposit. I don't clean spotless when I move anymore. No matter what they keep the deposit now
Typically it's expected to do a sweep/mop/vacuum, dispose of all garbage and ensure any holes are repaired. If they expect anything more than that they are delusional. This is why dated pictures or videos are a MUST before you move in and after all your stuff is moved out.
Nothing but true your right. it is a struggle.i gave up trying to get it back. Money can be a B
One tried that on me, I wasn't going...Me & my daughter did good work & she took pics...Had the maintenance man call her while I was there to say it was excellent...She still tried, but my man had his lawyer on deck give her a call, quickly gave it back...She was mad we were leaving...Some landlords dnt appreciate good tenants either, works both ways...lol
Oh another thing...She had 3 families who got her on paying rent for about 3 yrs...Thought she was gonna get money back thru me!..Sorry not happening!..lol
I was on Section 8 for close to 20 years, raising my kids as a single mom. I so appreciate the help front Section 8. When I was on Section 8 I kept my single story spotless clean, dishes washed, floor swept and mopped, beds made up, windows washed. We did all repairs, cause the owner lived in another state, we did all the yard maintenance, front and backyard. So I wanna say It's the kind of person you rent to, it's not just all Section 8 tenant's that have a bad reputation. Do your background checks, before you rent.
20 years.... damn
u were on section 8 20 years + what the real moochers
As a landlord I appreciate your comment. I have the worse section 8 tenants on earth. Horrific. Is good to know there are folks like you who care about where they live. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. It’s always assumed that section 8 participants are destructive, when in fact that’s far from the truth. There are many participants that work very hard to maintain a roof over our heads and we can’t afford nor do we want them live in inhabitable conditions. Granted there are some who choose otherwise, but in most cases they are usually terminated for violating the rules in which we are held by. Hopefully this stereotype will change for those who do there best to be respectful to the landlords that are willing to provide housing.
Nice, I hope its helping to add more good inventory to the lists as theres a huge waiting list in my towm... I wonder how much of an impact we're having?
From my past experience with dealing with Section 8 tenants in the rental market over the last 10 years they are no different than non-section 8 tenants. Everyone should be treated the same way and screened the same way regardless from my landlord prospective. I know 2 states Colorado and Nevada that passed a law that you can't discriminate against section 8, unemployment income, and etc from renting from them. The thing that I love about my section 8 tenants is its gauntied rent money especially during the Covid virus Pandemic too. So I strongly recommend section 8 tenants myself as a landlord. I run everyone the same way regardless.
Yes, I love my section 8 tenants. They're the best
Tell people to stop calling us section 8 we are tenants
The only reason I say it, is so peeps will understand the category...
No, you’re taking money you didn’t earn. You’re not a tenant, you’re a drain on tax payers who don’t get any help because they didn’t screw their life up. Sec 8 is a joke. You should get 5 years at the most period.
Section 8, means a guarantee payment!!!
Overall, the tenant seems to have left the place in great shape, hopefully, he will get some of his deposit back given you only have to do normal upkeep & cleaning.
Well, they broke the lease w/o notice. But it does look like they had respect for the good landlord with the condition they left thr place in. One landlord even gave me a $75 bonus when I moved out because if the good condition. He said he could rent it for more because of the care I took.
He is wanting money for the upgrades he should have done obviously 🙄
They probably lost their voucher if they broke the lease without permission.
I saw nothing that was wrecked just that closet door really the guy should get majority of his deposit back
Thank you so much for doing this I waited five long years as a single parent low income to get into housing!!! Only to find out nobody wanted to rent to section 8 HUD. I have never been so careful immaculate when I moved out of one in my life!!! God bless you guys!!! I will share I hope you do more of these this is great

i had tenants about 14 section 8 tenants for a average of 5 - 10 years some moved but to a bigger house or get there own house on programs that section 8 offers. all left them in good condition because section 8 do a after moving inspection and if its bad they lose their certificate and the rent money so no problems. i always check there they lived before and do a drive by and not take their landlord alone because if they bad they want them out now and will say anything to get them gone.
No one sec should have a house. Ever
I lived in a section 8 apt. for 7 years. When I was moving, the manager came for the walk-through she said it was going to be the easiest turn over they've ever done. Not all people with section 8 tear up the property.
Im 52 been out on my own since i was 17 im on Sec8 im planning on leaving my apt cleaning it up and giving them there keys every body dont tear up apartments
Oh my I had a horrible experience in the early 2000s . Be very strict with these tenants because Section 8 will fight against the land lord for these tenants . It’s sad because when a good section 8 tenants come the bad ones have ruined it.
Yep, seen other videos where bad apples ruin a place for any reason and make section 8 decent renters look bad so those who rent a place think twice if to accept section 8 anytime. section has rules for renters to keep all working order nytime they check a place. so if something not right or u wanna add new maybe then ask if ok to do so and they help do what they can at time. i mean renters may even add new so can show a bonus to place cause u not gotta add updates any by chance. i mean if u getting help with rent , then u can atleast keep tabs and add what u allowed to be like upgrading a house in ways.
Any renter can be bad though just as owners. Plenty of places are bad and run down in any aspect. It just depends on the people period
When section 8 accuses you of knowing your property was abandoned by their tenants and ask you for 9 months rent. Let’s chat 💬💕💕💕
wow, that's a beast
@@nadiabenjamin8989 Can you explain what happens if the tenant mess up the landlords place ?
For a landlord, Section 8 may be good but I have personally had to move out of 2 different neighborhoods because of Section 8 families literally destroying them with bad behavior. Throwing trash everywhere, having tons of shady people visiting all times of the day and night, playing basketball in the middle of the street at 2AM, constant altercations with residents and on and on. I finally moved into a Section 8 free neighborhood. Way more money but worth it for the piece of mind.
Wow, that is not bad. I've seen worst. Also, landlords will cover up things. Do patch work and it don't last long. That fold door I hate because it may work when you move in, open it 5 times and off the hinge. My house I'm in they patched it up and now roof ceiling leaks, house settling BAD so doors stick, floors not leveled. And, BUGS OMG! So, of course landlord taking all year to fix. Oh, and my rent up to date and I HAVE FIXED THINGS TOO. So, there are some good tenants out here.
