Screening Section 8 Tenants - Baltimore County

[Ken Chud]

Hi folks

Is landlord in their right to verify that voucher pays in the amount sufficient to cover the rent, before showing the property to a prospective tenant? Prior to covid, County Office of Housing instructed landlords using the Voucher letter to screen tenants, because no two vouchers are the same. Today, when renting a unit, i have come across some tasty renters that refuse to show their voucher letter, telling me the Housing Office told them not to share it with landlords, and pushing up their BS discrimination claim on me. Does anyone have any info on this?
