Taking a broom, little bucket, water & a rag around the apt bldg weekly and just making my rounds of maintaining, keeping busy, it's all good; Erika Angel, ya just don't know what I did at (Heliotrope) like (above), that ill - like got me ruined & kicked to the curb, thus no free legal help, nothing (=) on skid row, thus, now, I just want my life back, but with some sane owner/landlord, (/) who's cool, ya know.

They'd get rent (on time) every month, no problem's from me, and I exceed their (?) as a tenant's (=) smile's or (?) positive around, ya know. Sigh . . .
Section 8 Owner Benefits
The Section 8 Program provides many benefits to landlords, including: guaranteed monthly rent, free advertising of rental units, protection against lost rent due to a tenant's sudden loss of income and the chance to help deserving households live in decent, safe and affordable housing. Following are specific advantages for landlords.
ADVANTAGES OF THE SECTION 8 PROGRAM FOR LANDLORDS
GUARANTEED RENT:
The Housing Authority guarantees that we will pay our portion of rent on time. In most cases, the Housing Authority portion of rent is greater than the Tenant portion.
PROTECTION AGAINST LOST RENT WHEN THE TENANT LOSES A JOB OR OTHER INCOME SOURCE:
In the open market, when a "regular" tenant loses his job or other income source, the tenant is often unable to pay the rent. This situation often leads to owner eviction, which translates to time and expense for the Landlord. (On average, landlords lose at least 3 months of rent plus $2,000 in attorneys fees. The eviction process is also time-consuming and unpleasant.)
On the other hand, if a Section 8 tenant were to lose his or her job or experience another type of income loss, the Housing Authority would lower the tenants portion of rent and raise our Agency's contribution, up to 100 percent of the entire rent when necessary. This assures the Landlord that the Section 8 Tenant will always be able to afford the rent.
REIMBURSEMENT FOR RENT IN THE EVENT OF EVICTION:
In the open market, when a landlord evicts a "regular" tenant, the landlord does not normally receive any money from the tenant, either during or after the eviction process.
However, if a landlord were to evict a Section 8 tenant, the Housing Authority would continue to pay our portion of the rent until the tenant had vacated the unit. Or, in cases where landlords refuse to accept our rent for fear of interfering with the eviction outcome, the Housing Authority will retroactively pay for any unpaid Housing amounts once the tenant has moved out.
ASSURANCE THAT THE UNIT IS ADEQUATELY MAINTAINED BY THE TENANT
In the open market, landlords may only enter a tenants unit in case of emergency, to make necessary or agreed upon repairs, or to show the unit to a prospective buyer or renter. In many cases, landlords do not see the inside of their tenants homes for years and therefore have no assurance that the units are still in good, safe condition. In the case of tenants who do not report dangerous situations to their landlords, disastrous occurrences sometimes result.
Housing authority staff conducts annual inspections of our Section 8 tenants units, during which time we check to see that each tenant is maintaining his home in decent, safe and sanitary condition. Staff notifies the landlord whenever we discover items that are in poor repair, thus providing property owners with important information that may prevent future problems.
NO REQUIREMENT OR PRESSURE TO RENT TO "OTHER" SECTION 8 TENANTS
Some landlords have told us that they worry if they take one Section 8 tenant, they will have to rent to others. This is absolutely untrue. Landlords are free to rent to only one Section 8 tenant, to no Section 8 tenants or to many Section 8 tenants.
THE HOUSING AUTHORITY DOES NOT INTRUDE ON YOUR NORMAL LANDLORD/TENANT RELATIONSHIP
While we do ask landlords to sign a one-year contract and lease (so that we may reserve federal funds), we do not get involved in the landlords relationship with his tenant (unless the landlord asks for our assistance). In that regard, landlords do not need to ask our permission to carry out any landlord business, including the eviction of a tenant. The Housing Authority's role is to qualify eligible tenants for Program participation and to subsidize their rents in appropriate housing, not to interfere in the landlords activities.
