DCA and Section 8 in New Jersey

[Nadiyah Malbon]

I recently listed a few apartments for my clients and received over 300 applications. Most of them had Section 8 or DCA.  Although my clients were willing to accept these voucher programs, many others were not.  Some landlords don't understand that credit score shouldn't be a factor when using a voucher program.  Your payments are coming directly from the Government.  At that same time, they are missing out on filling their vacancies.  Do any of you or Landlord clients accept these programs?  Why or why not?
