Section 8 allowables by town, unit size

[Karen F.]

It's useful to know what Section 8 will allow for apartments by number of bedrooms, bathrooms, town, utilities included or not.  The housing authorities will not give out this information, even to the tenants, which makes it even more challenging to rent to Section 8, since the unit must be empty to be inspected, at least two weeks before the beginning of the month, and the tenants are often hard on the units, sometimes challenging to deal with.   In New Britain, we are currently getting 1050 3 bedroom cold flat, but each time we've had to fight hard with the housing authority to get it.  We're also getting $1275 for 4 bdrm cold flat, and I figure it's time to try to get an increase on that.  Anyone have information to share?
