section 8 housing laws

[Nicole Wood]

As a landlord are you required to accept section 8? I have read conflicting information on this. There isn't anything specific about it in my tenant laws either. One website says you must go through the processes to accept section 8 if you have someone whose qualified and interested. Another site states its legal not to accept because you haven't and will not go through the processes to be allowed to accept section 8. Any input? I personally DO NOT want to rent to section 8. I would like to rent to people with jobs and steady income only but do not want to violate any laws obviously. thank you.
