Section 8 exception to the rule, common misconception

[Milly Roblero]

I couldn't help but post after reading a Section 8 post to your sight. I can't stress to potential landlords interested in Section 8, to please not judge the book by it's cover. I have twenty, not an exaggeration, I have twenty years of rental receipts showing I paid my rent on time before and after becoming disabled and receiving Section 8 assistance. I have at least 5 years of receipts to all other bills also showing timely payment. I have previous Landlord statement that I have taken awesome care of their property. One even stated I took better care of his property than he did. The situation I find myself in is being taken advantage of by Section 8 Landlords. If a repair isn't made in thirty days then I have to move, if my Landlord isn't willing to make the repairs then I have thirty days to move. What?????? Notneven the sixty days that I would have to give as notice if I wanted to move, how does that seem right? So as to not be in that situation where I could lose my Section eight all together if I could not find a new place in ninety days, I am stuck doing all kinds of repairs. Now don't get me wrong I am happy to fix the clogged or leaky faucet, replace the sewer line, paint, scrub, replace Windows that are rotted, but must say some things are beyond my budget and outside the realm of what I know how to do. Just needed to vent and in the process let you know that not all Section eight tenant's are the same and some of us are quality. I live in Kent County Delaware, if anyone would rent to me please contact me.
