If the state and city spent time and money on making the voucher programs easier and more streamlined, less time on testing, they'd see a wider acceptance. -I work with vouchers often and the system is working against itself. Landlords I work with are open to accepting vouchers but don't want to wait 3-4 months for the process to start the lease, when someone else could come tomorrow with a check in hand. Let's fix the system!

No LANDLORDS want to deal with the disfunction and bureaucracy of NYC govt. It horrible for both landlords and tenants to deal with. Earlier this year a Judge agreed with the landlords’ argument, concluding the source-of-income discrimination statute violated the Fourth Amendment as it required property owners to consent to warrantless searches of their property and records. Needless to say the govt sucks!

Here are few reasons why this is 1)it takes good few months for a unit to get approved for sec8. This means few months vacancy =no rent. 2)it brings down the RE value 3) sec8 tenancy tends to not care about the apartment, destroy the property and cause trouble.

Theres a stigma against ppl who hold housing vouchers unfortunately. Landlords need to take time to analyze every prospective tenant individually cause we are not all the same. There are some responsible ppl w integrity to keep home clean, be respectful, and stay on top of their portion of rent payments but just find themselves in economic hardship and need the housing assistance, New York is not cheap

He responded only cos I called him out on not wanting to even show me this place cos I was homeless and had a voucher. Only when I said I should sue him did he do everything he could to hold this place for me. This place is not cheap without that voucher, I'd be forever homeless without it.

Do the vouchers pay 100% of the rent? I doubt it, so why should property owners take the risk? Also, how long can someone have their rent paid by tax payers? There should be a limit. You cant expect your rent to be paid by other for the rest of your life.

I received a 1 year prepaid voucher for a family. It ended up being a terrible decision. As soon as they moved in they complained and demanded many changes to the apartment after I explicitly wrote in their lease and told them the apartment was as-is. The other tenants living there complained about all the problems they were causing including noise, mess, arguments and even gun shots fired right outside the apartment building. When their voucher expired they started paying late. Then demanded I write them a referral to move into government housing. Left the apartment damaged and a mess and said if they didn’t receive their full security back they wouldn’t leave the apartment.

I’ve been a cash paying tenant, then had to transition to voucher and I can say there are a lot of discrimination that goes on in both categories. Paying cash I was heavily discriminated based on age and credit score even though my credit wasn’t bad it’s the assumption that I don’t have enough tenant experience so I’d get turned away as opposed to a couple or family. As a voucher holder landlords act like you can’t even get a chance to view the place smh if they’d at least give an equal opportunity to apply THERE WOULDN’T BE ALL THIS NOISE about DISCRIMINATION

Can't require W2 if someone is unemployed and using a voucher. Voucher is considered income and in turn, that would be income discrimination.
