How do I find a home to rent the accepts Section 8?

| | For Section 8 Tenants, Housing | 7 Comments

I have a lot of experience in renting to Section 8 voucher holders. There is not a specific place where all section 8 rentals are listed however, these are your best bets:

– Local newspaper classifieds. The ad will usually start with “Section 8 Welcome”

– Usually your local Section 8 office will have a listing of properties in their office. Most housing authorities provide a book or website where landlords can post their listing.

    Are you saying if I find an apartment I want, I qualify, and when they find out I have a voucher they cannot refuse me? What is the best way to approach a landlord? Tell them upfront I have a voucher or wait until they like me? I have specific housing needs because of a disability so knowing this is huge for me.
