Answer 2

I am a landlord and had no clue what section 8 was until someone called me up and asked my if I accepted section 8.

I did a little research and let them know I would be interested but to increase your chances I would suggest the following.

1) make sure the house is near the limit that your voucher is good for. If the 3-bedroom limit is $850 and the 3-bedroom house is advertised for $1150 there is little chance of getting them to agree.
2) ask them if they know about the section 8 program and then have a brief description ready to go if they say no. It will be your job to educate them so they might say yes. Also give them the number of the person you deal with (if its ok with them) if they have any other questions about the program.
3) If they do know about the program and say they aren't interested then you can either keep trying if they sound like they might listen or still try and educate them because they probably don't really understand the system. Maybe ask them why they don't accept it and teach them about how that doesn't apply to you.

here is what you might start with when educating a landlord:

the section 8 program is a federal program that allows low income families like myself to qualify for rental assitance. What happens is they have qualifeid me for a $600 of assitance toward a 3 or 4 bedroom rental. (substitue with the details of your local program of course) Your house will qualify for somewhere around $800 depending on all of the details such as type of heating and I pay the rest of the rent, the $200 while the section 8 program sends you a check on the first of the month. (again your program may be slightly different than the one in my city make sure you get it correct)

I sign an agreement with you as well as the section 8 people does so you are protected should I lose my mind and not pay for the rent. I of course will not do this as my kids and I need the assitance.

The only step for you to rent to me that is any different is that the section 8 people will do an inspection to make sure the house is safe. Sometimes they find little things that need to be fixed but they are usually minor. You can always back out if they find something and you do not want to make the repair. I still have to go through your application process and you still need to accept me just as you would for any tenant.

Be sure you share this with your section 8 person to get all the details correct. The goal is to be able to spit this out in less than a minute to let the landlord know the general idea of how the program works. Be sure to emphasize that they will get their money even if you don't pay it and that if there is any damage the program insures that. They will be much more likely to consider it.

As long as the section 8 is not paying far below the market rates you should easily be able to educate a landlord and get them to let you move in their rental.

good luck

You may want to check HUD's website, they will be able to give you the contact information for your local office, who should be able to provide a list of landlords. Just go to yahoo and search for "HUD" and it should be one of the first results.
