I strongly disagree. Any landlord that allows section 8 tenants is subject to an annual inspection of the apartment. These inspections aren't just a quick walk through either. The inpspectors make landlords fix everything visibly wrong and fix anything that the tenant complains about... even if it's not a real problem. I know all this because I own a rental property in troy and rent to section 8 tenants.

Section 8 tenants need to start being accountable for their own living conditions. Many of them don't care about their apartment and treat it like it's a dump. They live in deplorable self imposed, self created conditions that you wouldn't even want a pet live in.
