Q)I have an applicant for one of my units who wants me to accept him as a Section 8 (rent subsidized) tenant. I told him that I do not take Section 8 tenants. He told me that he would be filing a discrimination complaint. Am I required to take Section 8 tenants?
A) It is not considered discriminatory to refuse to accept a Section 8 tenant. I have many clients who have been terminating their Section 8 agreements. This can (also) be done in rent controlled units.
