Section 8 pricing question

[Tim Coppola]

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if someone can tentatively accept a section 8 applicant based on if the program agrees to the rent being advertised. In other words, if I am asking for $2300/month and a section 8 voucher holder applies, can I start the process and then turn them down if the program says I can only charge $2000/month? I am willing to rent to someone with a voucher but I do not want the government telling me I need to lower my rent in order to do so.

Thanks in advance for your insight,

Tim
