Good evening, everyone,
I am in the process of purchasing a townhouse I plan to offer to housing voucher holders. This is my first time doing this (investing/landlording/housing voucher- all of it).
I notice that many rental listings for housing voucher tenants do NOT require their tenant to purchase renter's insurance. Some do. I was under the assumption that requiring renter's insurance was a no-brainer. Is there any compelling reason to not require your tenant to purchase this, particularly for housing voucher holders?

why are you offering vouchers? I don't think there is a law against it. Most people with vouchers are low-income. I do it when I am trying to help a single mom but I am well aware that it generally turns out poorly. In my area the voucher prices are about 25% lower than market.

I’m not offering a housing voucher. The local government would provide this. Section 8 is now called a housing voucher.

It is the same thing basically but I understand what you are saying. Section 8 housing.
