Columbus Ohio new Section 8 rules

I am curious if anyone can point me to a good source of information about the new section 8 rules for Columbus Ohio.  I have a few rental units that will likely come available this summer, and I am not quite sure how best to proceed. 

I just read something about the section 8 requirements, and it seems like it would be pretty easy to pass.  For example, they want to make sure your windows have actual panes of glass in them and that they have locks.  It also shows that the toilet should flush.  Those seem like pretty easy hurdles to clear.  

At the same time, I have heard a lot of bad things about section 8, and it seems like an extra complication to deal with.  

I want to make sure I have a good understanding before I venture into this area.

@Curt Bixel What rules are you referring too? Housing choice voucher (HCV) is a federal program (HUD) administered at the local level by the city or county housing authority...section 8 is just 1 HCV program. If you are referring to the housing quality standards (HQS) you can find them on HUD's website or CMHA: https://cmhanet.com/
