Should I Consider Renting to Section 8 Tenants?
I am often asked about Section 8 and whether a landlord should consider renting to someone with a Section 8 certificate. They want to know if they should accept these tenants, what kind of rent they might get, and what are some of the pros and cons of this program.  Quite often they initially start out with a negative view of Section 8, so I thought I would give some pros and cons and allow you to make better decision about this program.   
 
What is Section 8
 
The PA Section 8 program, also known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, provides rental assistance to low income families in the private rental sector. Funded by HUD (The United State Department of Housing and Urban Development) the Section 8 housing goals are to provide improved conditions for families while assisting them in obtaining low income housing, maintaining rental payments, and promoting a greater freedom of choice in housing conditions. This Federal program provides incentives to the owners of apartment complexes and private homes to ensure the continued availability of government subsidized homes. Locally, the Pennsylvania public housing authority (PHA) is responsible for qualifying applicants and disbursing the vouchers to eligible families.
