Renters are NOT eligible if they live in public housing or receive other government rental assistance (Section 8/Housing Choice Vouchers, etc.)Cheers, Yuriy 

You can also check on residency requirements there.I have several Section 8 tenants myself and the vouchers are like gold for them.

Hello I have a house for rent and did find already a good section 8 tenant...She wants the property, also showed me her voucher today The problem is that the house is under my mother name and she is not a USA citizen,she is on B2 Visitor Visa.I just got a Request for Tenancy approval Form from tenant and i see they(section 8) request to fill it out w-9 form....

The good thing is that if they do not pay and you are successful in evicting them, they will automatically lose their section 8 voucher.

Also I heard that if they trash the place they will lose their section 8 voucher for the next place they want to live.Even though I have very little experience, I would not "pay off" a tenant.

We also use a voucher system with lenders so that money comes out as needed in smaller increments rather than large draws, etc. 

However, as a single parent and a student, I am eligible for housing vouchers.  

I said no, but I recalled that you cannot refuse a tenant based solely on vouchers.

It is a hybrid VA-Section 8 program where your PHA does the actual issuing of vouchers, paying of rental subsidies, usual safety inspections, etc. and the VA (or in rare cases a contractor) handles the screening of vets, provision of other supports, helps coordinate the paperwork, regularly checks in with the vet, so on and so forth.

"The goal of the housing choice voucher program is to provide “decent, safe and sanitary” housing at an affordable cost to low-income families."
