Section 8 - Applicant Approved; Apartment Not...Yet...

[Cordell M.]

I currently have the other half of my duplex vacant and have a nice applicant that I like who is Section 8 approved (used at her past residence).  However, the available unit is not Section 8 approved...my questions

-How long (in PA) does process for approval (for unit) typically take?  The unit is in good shape and I have no concerns about it passing inspection/maybe minor things.

-I am planning to sell this unit in less than a year for multiple reasons; does having Section 8 attach any strings or red tape to selling the property?

-I welcome any other thoughts that may be applicable.  I have other applicants; not sure if its worth jumping through the hoops to have someone in quickly (she is moving for legit reasons) especially getting it filled at this time of year.

Thank-you for your thought!
