Can a landlord refuse to rent to me because I am using a Section 8 voucher? No. The law prohibits housing discrimination. A landlord can require you to provide the same application information as is required for other applicants.

I have a Section 8 voucher, and I am interested in moving to
another city. Can I take my voucher with me?
Yes, it is possible to port with your voucher. You must contact both
your current Housing Authority and the Housing Authority in the city
you are interested in moving to for the details.
What if I have special needs?
Please tell us if you need assistance of any kind to access our services,
and let us know if you need special features in your housing. For example,
we can often provide large print materials, wheelchair accessibility
and customized interviews. If you need an interpreter or a translator,
tell us, and we will provide one for you. We will make every effort
to meet your needs.
How can I rent my home to a Section 8 tenant?
You'll need to contact your local public housing agency to find out
how to rent to Section 8 participants in your area or post your property
on www.gosection8.com
What happens after I rent to the family?
Every year HAPB will determine whether the family is still eligible
for the program during their annual reexamination and if the unit still
meets HQS standards during the annual inspection.
