This isn't a protected class federally but it sometimes is at the state or local level.If they do have such a law, you have to take a Section 8 voucher (conversely, if that law exists, people in your area couldn't do what I do, which is ONLY take Section 8 tenants). 

Are you a voucher holder? 

The tenant will not want to jeapordize her voucher and she in fact will also make sure he doesn’t come around again.

It's a good stat for Joe fo sho, but I would be curious to know if ANYONE with a non-section 8 tenant has been used gifting to cultivate long tenancies at market rent.It's also worth noting that Joe's a stand-up fella, produces BEAUTIFUL homes, and is willing to pref housing voucher holders (or at least not overlook them), which also goes a long way in keeping your relationships with tenants on a top tier.

In regards to Section 8, if you screen correctly you should not have any more headaches or issues than with a non-voucher tenants.

Is your renter section 8 or another subsidized voucher? 

You can contact Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) assuming that is who the section 8 voucher is for and request a rent increase.We recently did this with one of our properties and were able to raise the rent from $956 to $1249. 

But I have an applicant that I approved that has housing vouchers.

It’s a sophisticated way of controlling the density of voucher holders.

I am seeking advice on how to ease long-time property owners' minds on section 8 voucher holders.
