Having a HUD voucher may be a tie breaker with similar applicants but is not a shoe in by any means.This is what we put on our application, for another example:Our Criteria:We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals: when the application is not complete or accurate where there is not sufficient income/resources to pay rent and livewhere there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.Criminal activity is at our discretion depending on severity, number of convictions, and how long ago.We do not go into much detail, especially since we don't charge for screening, but it gives them an idea and meets state requirements.
