Indianapolis, Indiana needs landlords who Accept Section 8 2019 a

Hello its 2019,

I'm currently coming up with a list of Realtors who accept new 2019 scetion 8 applicants who come with income.. I notice homes currently offered are in the most interesting areas.  I also notice struggling home owners just taking applicants money and holding RTAs,then picking non-holders and few months later property is back empty. Indiana is an at will state so employers fire without reasoning and can legally do so.. Me personally I rather have 80% of my rent then zero because the non section 8 holder lost job and can no longer afford rent.. at least with the voucher you are receiving residual income... I also noticed these homes are located in areas without reliable public transportation, grocery stores, and bad areas where there aren't any current section 8 attendees. I encourage all that respond if any respond with positive comments... Simply your negative response and way of thinking could be the reason your not successful in accepting  applicants... Oh FYI;  the rental amount your charging cant be higher than the rest of the block or section 8 will deny the land lord due to that reason...

@Tamara Ratcliffe i wish people would drop the notion that employers just walk into their businesses looking for who the can fire that day. It’s not accurate. And as a free company if they choose to fire someone that is their business. As a free country, you are free to find a better job.

Plenty of landlords accept section 8. There’s no shortage of people willing to take the governments payments. Just not everyone has to if they choose not to.
