Section 8 high voucher amounts

[Kristi Wolfe]

We’re looking for a new tenant. The place is upgraded (Completely renovated in 2016, hardwood floor, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, etc. Avg rent for a 2 br 2 bath in our area is $1550. We’re asking $1700, and have prospective tenants who have section 8 vouchers for 2 br housing for $1700+. Does this bother anyone? Imo, Taxpayer dollars are paying for your housing, you should not be living in something that costs more than average.
