I thought "section 8" tenants had a guaranteed rent. But yeah, probably would still be a job.



In section 8 a few bad tenants strip everything of value to hawk for drugs. Sure the rent is paid but now the city is up your ass for code violations when the very people that destroyed the place complain it isn't habitable. Which you must now repair so it can be stolen again.


I believe Section 8 also comes with regular inspections. Some locales do regular inspections anyway, but many don't.

Some Section 8 tenants have complex interactions with their neighbors and their environment, and I think eviction of Section 8 tenants is harder too.


When you live near people who have complex interactions with their neighbours you get comfortable with using the term 'assholes'
