Quote from @Travis Biziorek:

It can be both good and bad as there are pros and cons.

I have 4 homes in Detroit rented to S8 tenants. Overall, I like the program. I think most folks get in trouble because they think they don't need to screen tenants like they normally would.

That's just not true. Not all S8 tenants are created equal.

Have yours cause you any trouble?
