Section 8 Landlord Questions

[kbcouch]

Does anyone know of a forum for section 8 landlords? I cannot seem to find one to answer some questions.

1) As an owner of Section 8 housing...can you rent your property to a family member? (not my current situation but a different landlord)

2) Scenario: Single woman with 3 children approved for Section 8...moves in her boyfriend (2 years ago) who is working and making okay $$. He is also a convicted felon (served 6 years in prison). She claims that he is now approved on her Section 8 voucher and I am pretty sure that he is not. I think this is being said to make everyone think all is well.

Any help would be great.
Thanks!

As far as the boyfriend moving in, if he is not on the lease properly then as far as I know he can be evicted. If he ha sa felony record then he most certainly can be booted out, as far as I know. You would have to start eviction proceedings. I feel sorry for the 3 kids, hopefully none of the crimes he did involved children.
