Attention landlords...criminals now a protected class

Even worse is the trend to force all landlords to accept Section 8 renters. That's bull .

LOL...

That would be funny as the states and feds don't have enough resources to grant all the owners who want to go section 8.

Besides, they can't force all, unless they drop their standards. Many places don't qualify the government nit-picking to be approved.

It's being done at the state and city level. Already law in 12 states.

As a landlord I would be furious if I was forced to rent a class A property to a section 8 tenant without any guarantee of large security deposits, etc. I have seen what happens in the local housing projects and it's almost criminal how they mistreat the units.

That's wild. Here in Oregon, every now and then, I hear of where owners want to rent to section 8 tenets, but the state says the property doesn't qualify. My understanding is the state pays for damages, and guarantees rent. maybe I'm wrong. Or, maybe its different on a state by state basis.
