Reply to comment by SolitaryMarmot in NYC tenants report rampant housing discrimination by landlords over vouchers by DrogDrill

Not all vouchers are section 8. Section 8 also only pays 70%

And the deadbeat tenants will absolutely wreck the apartment to get out of their portion of the rent.

True. But it's the same with public housing section 9. Even a market rate tenant can lose a job and not be able to pay rent during the term of a lease. With section 8 (assuming your apartment meets the HUD criteria) you'll at least get 70% of the rent every month
