So discrimination based on generalizations.

No just based on track record really. If people don't pay rent and destroy apartments, you don't want to rent to them in the future.

If you had a nice belonging that's worth a lot to you, you wouldn't go lending it out to just anyone, you would make sure you only gave it to someone you know has proven to you that they have the ability to take care of it.

If it were much faster/easier to evict tenants that don't pay, landlords will probably be more open to vouchers, but right now it's just a nightmare.

That last sentence basically sums it all up what’s gets me about this article I’d the person used I’d in the healthcare industry and they still qualify for a voucher. Most people working in healthcare are capable of managing money well enough to afford their own place. So something is up. Nyc needs to teach financial literacy in grade school if they ever want to get out of this mess

Goes beyond that. I have a section 8 tenant snd I’ve been trying to get section 8 to recognize and record the signed legal lease amount for 3 year 6 years everyone said something different no one can get it done attorneys I’ve spoken with Day the courts can’t do anything about it. So we have to fit here snd eat the loss because they govt can’t get it straight. Aldo everyone that works there is a different form of incompetence they as ll need to be retrained. Mind you this voucher holder doesn’t even live in the apartment and the daughters baby daddy lives there illegally. Often when dealing with couches landlords hands are tied so why bother deal with it when someone qualified comes along looking to rent. There’s no reason to.
