Section 8 tenant specifics

[Brandon S.]

 Hello to everyone on BP, this is my first post so far and i just wanted to know some general information that i couldn't find when i was searching in the forum's. As a future section 8 landlord, can you decide that you would like to rent to working class tenants or elderly folks only? I've heard of the horror stories ect about people not working and many other things, so i just wanted to ask that question.

There are communities where 55+ is required, and they have to set up certain CCRs in those communities to be in compliance with Fair Housing regs.  So they limit the occupants to those age 55+ (with exceptions that would be found in the CCRs). Unless you are buying in such a community, you can't discriminate in that manner.
