I DO believe that taxing authorities are entitled to a look-in as it pertains to nights rented, revenue, and potential taxes due. 

It falls upon you or your property manager to screen them, within the scope of what Section 8 allows you to do (for example, you can't really screen for income and employment, because you have to count their Section 8 voucher as income).Benefits of Section 8:Tenants tend to stay a long time (because of the nightmare of red tape required to get into a lease in the first place).Market rent is (usually) reasonable (at least you hope it is, because you arent setting it, the Housing Authority is).
