Is it illegal?

[Pat Lione]

I rent purely section 8. I get alot of calls from my newspaper advertising and was wondering when i recieve these call can I just blatantly and legally just ask if they have section8? Reason being is the properties are strictly cashflow properties that I've spent lots of money to rehab. I screen and have gotten very good sec8 tenants. Market rents for these neighborhoods are less than sec8 pays. People familiar with sec8 know that these tenants don't want to lose that voucher. Other non sec8 really have nothing to lose and the law is not on myside so i would just rather avoid regular tenants.
