Post: Avoiding Section 8

What about if the rent is higher than the approved voucher?
For example in Cook Co, each ZIP have a max limit that voucher will pay- e.g for a 3BR, say its $1400. Now my advertised rent is $1600.
Few landlords get the $1450 from the voucher and the balance ($200) they take directly from the tenant. This practice is actually NOT allowed in Sec-8 program ( AFAIK)! You can not have the $200 payment as part of the Lease.
In this situation, can I say "The $1600 rent is not approved by Sec-8 voucher so I can not work with you".
Any thoughts on this?

@A.R. Coningsby - Not sure if you have already requested the info from City via FOIA request ( Freedom of Information Act). Most of the city must comply to a FOIA request for any property.
Check with village/city office.
Cheers!

@Monisha L. Welcome to BP Nation! You are at the right place to learn all about REI online.
But the best way to learn is to buy your 1st distress property that needs light rehab.
You will learn a lot just by doing one project from start to finish.
Don't ignore the financing part!! very important if you really want to scale up... no one have unlimited funds...LOL!
Let me know if I can be of any help.
All the best!
