We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

As long as it's a market where the imbalance resolves itself the tenants should return to the units that best match their financial profile but it could be a persistent issue in markets where oversupply can't resolve itself.

Have you adjusted your funding strategy to match the current market?

Keeping the tenant 2–3 months can work if you lock it in writing: interim rent amount, access rights for inspections/contractor walks, clear move-out date, and a rent‑back or temporary occupancy agreement with a deposit; expect slower permits and subs over holidays, and don’t start demo until you have vacant possession to avoid habitability issues.

. - As it's not uncommon for students to drop out or decide they can't get along, you'll want very strong language regarding one tenant moving out and the others remaining - specifically that you won't refund security deposit to one student moving until ALL tenants on lease vacate.- Strong language regarding locks on bedroom doors- Cover landlord?
