How do I respond to Section 8 inquiries?

[Alyssa Paros]

We have a unit up for rent. We don’t currently accept section 8 and don’t plan to. But I have a person messaging me about section 8 and after repeated messages of telling him politely that we don’t accept section 8, he keeps pressing. He’s saying now that he’s not in section 8 now, but plans to in a few months and is asking us to get approved in the meantime. I’m just getting a bad vibe.

I don’t want to seem discriminatory, but we just don’t want to do Section 8 at this time.

How do I respond? Or do I just not respond?
