Rental Availability

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Home Center

 

     I enjoy helping families find the perfect homes to live in.  Lately, most of my calls have been from renters looking for single family or townhomes to rent in the 21207,21244,21228,21117 zip codes.  Most of my request are also coming from single parents needing a safe ,clean and family oriented environment.  Even though there are plenty of available rentals, there are not enough landlords willing to accept Housing Vouchers.  I'm sure there is uncertainty in the minds of the Landlords, but the rent payment is always there on time. Housing Vouchers can be a plus for a Landlord, wondering if their tenant will be paying the rent on time or at all.  Housing Voucher Recipients residences are inspected annually and believe me, they are not trying to loose these Vouchers, So many of the Recipients are better tenants than those not in the program.  I'm reaching out to the Landlords and other RE Agents to please reconsider leasing to a Housing Voucher Recipient, IT JUST MAY BE YOUR BEST YEAR FOR A POSITIVE FLOW OF INCOME!!!

I agree.  The Voucher opportunity may be one of the things that many agents overlook and it is a benefit to society as well as a good source of income.
