@Beth Matherne If it's possible to upload the rent slip, I'd love to do that. Someone at the Brooklyn office advised taking it up with HUD but cautioned we might be running into the same group that approved the Section 8 without due diligence. I just believe this is a syndicate and it involves an insider at the same HUD. Who signed off on fictitious names and designate someone who never applied for a program as a beneficiary? It's organized scam being run against the government and they took advantage of this person not speaking English as first language.

@Jim K. Thank you! To think someone will do this to another person’s life and future is simply mindless. You have been very helpful.

@Wayne Brooks Moving is better than enabling a corrupt and mindless landlord. You can imagine the damage done to this individual’s records and future reference. Am well aware it takes a criminal syndicate to pull this off, it’s just not fair to the person whose record is being tarnished for no reason.

@Jim K. Thank you for your informative response. My friend is Hungarian who is out of town and I just happened to be paying her rent on behalf when I saw this Section 8 stuff and I was alarmed. She’s a legal resident and not a refugee, hardworking and straight up! Never need to get any section 8 help. Thank you again, we will be reporting this landlord.

@Anthony Gjolaj I saw fraud being perpetrated on someone innocent, I thought I can get some clarity from a supposedly enlightening group, and you are spewing ****?

@Anthony Gjolaj maybe you should read before questioning my identity and profession. Mr. know-all.... Your rudeness stinks!

@Austin Mountain My point exactly! How could someone be listed for something they never applied for?

@Anthony Gjolaj This is a paying tenant of a very corrupt landlord who is perpetrating fraud on the system.

@Patti Robertson I understand perfectly the ideal situation. And that means the tenant actually applying for and being the bonafide beneficiary of the section 8. However, a friend who doesn’t speak English asked me to help pick up the rent slip and I saw section 8 on the slip. This is why I asked the question on this forum, as I write this I have the rent with me but simply shocked at the level of corruption of the landlord. So pardon me if my question sounds illogical.

Is it right for a landlord to be receiving Section 8 on behalf of tenants who are paying regularly and unaware of the section 8 on their names?
