Landlords don't want vouchers, the hurdle keeping people on the streets | Part 3: The Causes
11Alive met several people living on the streets and in encampments that could have been sleeping in a bed, had a property been willing to accept Section 8, also known as a housing voucher.
The Way Home: Causes is part two of an 11Alive Investigates series examining why tents line our freeways and families struggle to find stable housing.

Good for the landlords they're waking up they do not want to rent out to savages
There's a circumference of people who live in voucher apartments that destroy them look at Washington DC these buildings were rented out to black people and what happened they were all destroyed now upper class people living on On the premises take very good care of them they are fairly to talk about why these people with these vouchers do not take care of their premises and their apartments we're Not given to them for them to destroy it maybe they should be proper etiquette in classes if they want to live in these kinds of apartments with vouchers how to take care of them and not be a savage Mike
I think residents should be required to work 20 hours a week or volunteer 20 hours a week if you get section 8. I was a landlord who had a Section 8 tenant. Because the tenant didn’t work at all, she & her family kept different hours. ( up all night making noise and playing music/birthday parties in the middle of the week) My paying tenants (one family of 5 where dad worked two jobs and mom worked one job) moved because the noise during the week was too loud and didn’t want issues with the section 8 tenants. I will help folks who are cleaned ( one day week clean the house; don’t leave trash on the back porch, take it to the garbage cans!!!) , clean up after themselves in the laundry area and socialize on weekends … but home training and basic common civility is a must!!!!!!
Sect 8 know what they have to do. Pay for the repairs these tenants cause. They are judgement proof. Most of them is not even working so you can't even sue.
I knew this was the direction of the future for renting, I’m telling u, I believe there are still programs like NACA 1st time homebuyers programs that make it easier to get approved if your able to pay rent you can pay a mortgage probably less than rent
To me, the issue boils down to why I'm covering my mortgage while psying for someone else benefits (rent). I put in a lot of effort to provide a better life for my family, yet the government continuously takes a larger share of my hard-earned money to distribute it. With the current shortage of employees, the push for more immigrants arises to fill those jobs. I believe it's essential to fortify regulations, decrease the count of beneficiaries in social programs, and allow diligent American citizens to retain a greater portion of their earnings.
One consistent problem with rental properties in Phoenix is that many cannot pass a basic housing inspection. Since these homes cannot be properly insured, some landlords expect the tenants to pay for the maintenance of deteriorating, substandard rentals, and refuse to maintain or repair them. Of course these types will not want government "meddling" in their little rackets, lol.

They look so inocent, so sweet. They would NEVER spit at white people's faces, they are not racists. At church they would say "hi" to everybody, and they old cook dinner for everybody. Would you offer them your home?
.
Ive never been a landlord, but could tell you immediately why they don't want section 8 tenants, because they probably trash the places they live in and I doubt the government pays for it. So getting a guarantee on the rent payment is useless if the property is destroyed.
I thought Georgia was a poor state. That is where Honey Boo Boo is from. They want to be all uppity and not take people's vouchers. That is not supporting your neighbors or community. Look how beautiful that homeless lady keeps her apartment now. Most of these people are super grateful to be given a chance at a normal life. They respect the property and landlord. It is just the stigma. They don't want to be seen as helping the poor because the poor are despised and undeserving of help according to a lot of people.
It is a scary thing to know that you have nowhere to sleep or live. I don't know if they get used to it so much as just give up and go numb. They are so busy surviving that they forget about dreaming of something better. As the lady said, it is a runaround. You call and pay fees, but no one really is going to let you in or tell you why not.
This is a planned process that is occurring systematically throughout the U.S. Voucher program funding will be reallocated to migrates and their families entering into this country.
How can Ruth be living in poverty if she can afford to purchase and care for a dog and bird?
I don’t know why anyone doesn’t understand why landlords don’t want to rent to Sch-8 tenants just look at how the properties are treated by the tenants.
I tried section 8 tenants once. Never again. The rent got paid, sure, but the problem was they brought in their "street" friends. I had 12 people living in a 4 bedroom house the week before the eviction went through. It took me 3 months to get them out, and I had to prove to the judge by video that there were 10+ beds in this house when the lease said no more than 5 people. There was also a registered offender living there without my permission, alongside 2 children. Disaster in the making.
Moratorium/tenant protection kicked many landlords out of business. Moochers want to mooch but no one wants to work for them. The main reason why communism fails.
I wouldn't want them either. Because if you let too much of a man they're going to start acting a fool and bothering people that actually worked to live there.
