Tell her that you would need to see a year's worth of bank statements to prove the alimony payments were reliable, and since she can't provide that, then you have to deny her.And in the future, find any possible legal excuse you can to deny anyone going through a divorce or freshly divorced.

Obviously there is a lot to discuss on this topic, but for a very quick glance, here are a few pro's and con's to consider when thinking about section 8 rentals:Pros:Guaranteed Rent Payments -> The government pays a significant portion (if not all) of the rent directly to the landlord, providing a reliable and steady income stream.High Demand -> There is often a high demand for Section 8 housing, reducing the risk of long vacancy periods.Cons:Inspection and Compliance -> The property must pass an initial inspection and comply with health and safety standards set by the local housing authority.

Obviously the answer I'm sure depends on a number of factors (affordability, reliability, etc.)
