Make sure you take into account the Section 8 subsidy in determining a Section 8 voucher holder’s ability to pay rent. If your site requires applicants to have a minimum income level, don’t let this policy improperly reject voucher holders who don’t meet your site’s minimum income criteria. You could be violating tax credit rules barring discrimination against those applicants. The IRS forbids owners from refusing to rent to a Section 8 voucher holder solely because of that person’s status as one [IRC §42(h)(6)(B)(iv)].
