Guidebook: www.hud.gov/si...
The checklist isn't that difficult... We need more caring people out here like him....
Caring?
I have a home that have been destroyed not once but 4 times..and you say " caring? .......nahhhhhh, I am done caring
Thank you for accepting Section 8. You're correct, the checklist deals with basic safety standards. I wish more landlords were like you.
As a landlord I have no respect or sympathy for section 8 landlords. I love seeing these landlords get harmed because they are evil socialists who accept money stolen from taxpayers. We the People should not have our hard earned tax dollars spent without benefit to those same tax payers. Forcibly taking tax money from honest earners then handing it over to those who have done nothing to earn or deserve it is criminal. It turns those honest tax payers into partial slaves forcing us to work against our will for others.
@@bubbajones4522 I'm physically Disabled and am bedridden. HCV keeps me from being homeless.
@@Lili-xq9sn That's sad but why exactly do you think the government should force the rest of us to work in order to support you? You think of us as your slaves? We don't owe you anything. We get no benefit from the money the government takes from us and gives to you. Instead of government giving away our tax dollars you should be receiving freely given charity funds as we did 60 or so years ago. There's a reason why many hospitals are named after saints because indigent people would receive care funded by charity.
I'd still be wanting references and legit email addresses of previous landlords to contact.
Section 8 is a pain in the ass. Why would a landlord want to fool with it? There's no extra money. In fact they try to underpay and they make the process more difficult.
Thank you for excepting Section 8 vouchers. Not only are you helping a family but your are helping the whole community of masses and the better way of life for all. God Bless you and your family!
The section 8 family helping him to pay his bills so it’s a win for both parties

Love those counters... Landlords like him would be treated with respect because he gives it... genuinely
Let's hope they do. I hope he's got a tenant who wants better for themselves. Which isn't always the case, as we've all seen.
Don't bet on it. I am a landlord for 10 years and the lack of moral character is a Huge Problem these days. People don't care. They will ruin Your property in most cases and YOU are left holding the bag as the Landlord/Tenant Rights are One Sided. Best of Luck.
The inspection is safety for your Tenents as well as you surrounding neighbors..thanks for accepting section 8
I been a section 8 tenant in my apartment for the pass 19 yrs. And I have always kept my place clean I don't drink smoke cigarettes or do drugs my place has always pass my section 8 inspection and I also got along with my neighbors these other awful section 8 tenants make the rest of us look bad)
The only thing I don't like about section 8 or housing authority is when they raise the rent) I thought that being under their program would be affordable since they said it's for low income)
And because we have solar they told me my electric is free ) what's wrong with this picture if I was rich I would pay my increase every year but I am not) I want to rent a place where I don't have to keep moving I am looking for a steady place to live) but the rent keeps going up every year and they call section 8 and housing authority an affordable place for low income people to live)
Hopefully section 8 holders appreciate the program and taking good care the house treat like your own house
I hope you’d say the same about non section 8 tenants; otherwise you’re discriminating against disabled folx…which is illegal. I think most section 8 folx Are grateful - but also, we shouldn’t be put in a situation where we feel any less than any other tenant.
Don't we all, on some level, appreciate the things that help us get our basic human needs met?
@@Rankinia On some level. But some tenants Do trash houses and risk losing their vouchers.
@@QurVgn Well, sure, some do, others don't. The number of Americans struggling to pay rent is a large, diverse group of people.
“Wages and housing costs have diverged so dramatically that, for a growing number of Americans, the dream of a middle-class life has gone from difficult to impossible. As I write this, there are only a dozen counties and one metro area in America where a full-time minimum wage worker can afford a one-bedroom apartment at fair market rent. You’d have to make at least $16.35 an hour-more than twice the federal minimum wage-to rent such an apartment without spending more than the recommended 30 percent of income on housing. The consequences are dire, especially for the one in six American households that have been putting more than half of what they make into shelter. For many low-income families, that means little or nothing left over to buy food, medication, and other essentials.”

@@Rankinia Yes! It’s Awful! It took me 12 years to get a voucher - and now, even though I’m broke, I have my own place - and in the Bay Area that’s something to be Very grateful for! It’s just sad imo that some people don’t think long term - so they get a place with a voucher and then break the rules. And then they’re screwed. A housing voucher - now that landlords aren’t allowed to discriminate re where rent comes from/ they can’t deny Section 8 is precious! And yes, of course landlords do find ways to say no to section 8 - but Fair Housing has been some help in that dept. Still, most landlords don’t know they can’t say no just bc of Section 8 and telling them kinda sucks. I’ve definitely had some pissed off which is a shite way to begin a relationship.
I agree the landlord should do a yearly inspection. Because you never know how someone is treating your property. I allow my landlord to come over whenever he likes to do surprise inspections or just visit. That way you know that people with children are not destroying your properties.
NO. You Do QUARTERLY Inspections - That Way You Know Before it's too late. You Can't trust today's less than decent moral character individuals to actually respect what IS Yours.
Bless you for taking hud and you are NOT a slumlord ....wish more people were honest .

I do not believe he is a slum landlord... Good job young man
if looks could really tell you. Mine looks like him and very shady and rude
My mother has been waiting months for her section 8 apartment to pass inspections. They told the landlord they need to change the outlets and the landlord got an electrician out right away and it was done and now they are telling them the outlets need to be grounded. The landlord has done everything that was asked of her and each time they keep coming up with an excuse to fail her. It’s been months now . Once the inspection fails it takes 3 months to get another inspection. Now they hv to start over again with the waiting .
considering Section 8 tenant so this has been so helpful
Some landlords don't like having to keep their place up
I learned a lot
I'm getting super anxious and super jealous to get into my forever home 🏡🙌✨😌
If you are a renter... When you are accepted for that house or unit take pictures of any damages so they can't charge you for it... Some landlords will try that trick....
I once had a landlord say he was going to fix these things before I moved in. Well on move in day & I back in huge Uhaul.... Sure enough nothing was fixed 😭 cracked windows & broken front frames, black mold & carpet tacks etc etc etc ....
I’m loving them hard wood floors
Renting apartments is a business and so often owners/landlords just can’t seem to treat tenants respectfully. I wish landlords knew how to own a business and to remember they are renting to someone that wants a home, so please be decent to tenants.
I noticed the hot water tank heater was missing the discharge pipe which is a fail for HQS inspections.
This is not a safety issue but the refrigerator doors swing the wrong way. Easy fix.
Where I live in Batavia New York they look the other way at HUD they don't really do a real inspection... they give huge tax breaks and if I complain to have the roof fixed I can be homeless now! They can actually give you a month by month lease and throw you out on your ass if they don't like you asking to have things fixed! Or they can do it my landlord did the head of the Republican party in Batavia New York Richard Seibert they can say they're selling the house and there's nothing you can do and that's what just happened to me today. The conversation went I can get more money if I move you out and get somebody else I'm giving you a deal I used to call it a three-bedroom for 8 years now for six years I've been calling it a two-bedroom! If you think people stick up for HUD victims think again! Well they look in your apartment if there's a scratch on the paint or a broken glass it's a big deal but if the roof is leaking it's not if the wiring upstairs is from the 1930s it doesn't matter if the sewer keeps backing up cuz they won't dig a trench to the street cuz it cost $50,000 to bad if there's real mold in the basement too bad. Last time they told them to put a floor in my bathroom because it was from the 1950s and it was all cracked and I said I don't care I'd like a roof that don't leak well finally they patched it not put a roof on like other people have to we don't have the same rights as other people. And now people aren't taking vouchers so I'm about to be homeless with one leg and nobody cares where I live nobody's going to help me move I'm alone and I think I'm dead oh well who cares not anybody Genesee County New York where I live! Oh yeah I wish under my sink looked like that there's mold under there too! If you're living in HUD Section 8 home yes they should make them fix the damn roof yes they should be taking off an outlet where the two prongs are upstairs from the 19 whatever way early with the cloth wiring it's in my hallway! Yes they should look at the sticker on the furnace that says 1995! Yes they should hire people that can do their job fixing things but they don't not here in Batavia New York not when your landlord is the head of the Republican Party I'll be a martyr for HUD people and I'll suffer to help others because I'm not going to keep putting up with what they do to me I can have a home in jail! I'm tired of the things that they did to me here it's not right! Yeah they don't care about the foundation of the house the roof the most important things the electric where I live. It's too depressing
I wish I could find a section 8 apartment that looks that nice in my area!
I love how he is so honest we need more landlords & property managers like him some people are in it just for the money of course!! But like he stated also care about your tenants as well!
You should take photos of each thing and check it off as you do them
I have a section 8 inspection question I would like to know if a house would pass inspection in ur opinion
Section 8 tenant is the best, but the housing authority in my area is absolute nightmare to deal with.
Are you in California?
@@guineveresimko1298 Pittsburgh
My apartment building has tree growing in the galvanized plumbing. It's creating a cockroach infestation. I don't think section 8 should approve it if the landlord doesn't want to repair. What's your opinion
Fyi, inspections work both ways. It's for the landlord to check on their property, but also for the tenant to let them know of anything that needs fixing in the home.
I'd be taking that dishwasher out. It's just another thing to fix. Plus it's using up precious cupboard space in a small kitchen. But that's me.
That is beautiful place.
Thank you for this. We have an investment property and we would like to go section 8. We have a tenant in one of the units who would qualify. It would be a win-win for both of us. I didn’t see the link to section 8 requirements in the comments. I’d be very appreciative if you would put it in the comments.
You can check with your local housing authority. They’ll have a website.
Tenant would need to sign up for Section 8. Takes forever, but the sooner the better....
7:40 Great tour, but WHY HAVE AN OUTLET AT THE CEILING 👀
#Beautiful home
In California the electrical outlets are required to be grounded.
I just became a housing inspector after I watched this video. And before that I was a assistant property manager and leasing consultant.
When I lived in the DC area, I had problems finding an apartment because so many of them only accepted low income tenants. It’s reverse discrimination. The landlords take the section 8 tenants because they’re guaranteed to collect their rent. Many of those complexes, such as this one, are nicer than the ones that accept middle income tenants.
Nice house. But hate electric stoves.
When you. Put. Application. In. Apts. And. They. Tell. You. That. You. Approve. Do that. Mean. You. Got. The. Apt ?
What we need is for the government to stop coddling the poor unemployed...encouraging them to be mediocre and dependent (for life!). Has anyone bothered to check the videos of when these people up and leave these Section 8 apartments?
I fread to think what this impeccable property will be like in a year!
I'm in California & trying to rent a studio that used to be a hotel room. No oven....
Does have mini fridge & microwave.
Any ideas on how to get it passable for Section 8??
I'm living in my truck juggling 3 part-time jobs and I'm so extremely tired....
I'm on the extension right now & my voucher is about to expire. Of course my worker never calls me back or returns anything by email. Thanks
I wish Virginia was this thorough maybe I wouldn’t be in a crap hole.
Safety Issue: Missing pipe on Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve on hot water heater.
yeah places fail if they don't have those.
I wash that I can get section 8 right now Lord help me please
Maxine. I thought section was to help low income people but when your social security gets raise so does the rent every year) I had section 8 for 3 years now and the rent is never the same)
There’s a list open in Owatonna Minnesota sign up before they close it
Yes they are very difficult to contact it’s ridiculous I had to email call and fax for weeks than got a email back they sometimes are unprofessional some of the section 8 workers are rude and talk to you like your slow as well most government employees are like this it’s no excuses for the behavior
i was on section 8 years ago the inspection is so pathetic im not surpised many people on section 8 end up living in severe health hazard apts with tics bats useless heating systems etc i gave up section 8 adn i got into a much better apt program that pays higher rent now i live in a new apt building no tics no bedbugs no rats no asbestos no useless heating systems no bats no rats thank god everything works in my new apt im willing to bet middle class people get much better inspections of housess when they go to buy a house in usa
Thank god Not all section 8 inspections require landlords to meet the required criteria. I moved to montana and live in a dump the only place I could find to accept my grant..
How. Many. Time. They. Go. Back. And. Check. The. Socket?
How. Long. They. Take. Check. The. Socket
I know its a old video but a good one. I have a question do you have to have a Central AIR and HEAT for the house or will window units work with section 8. Thanks for your time and information !
I need help; i have an inspection for 2 bedroom condo, it does not have permanent light fixture in living room and master bedroom, this are old buildings and never had permanent fixtures installed. Do you know if that is a requirement? I am located in NJ Middlesex county
Great work 👍🏾
good luck, your gonna need it - judges are for renters
The other apartments I looked at are even worse than mine light over the bathroom sink there wasn't even a mirror and it was HUD inspected and approved and I'm about to call my attorney general cuz I'm not going to put up with people like these when I lived here fifteen years I always paid my rent and look what I got cuz I asked to have the gutters cleaned cuz the front porch is falling off and rotting it's cracking the giant Pole that holds up the front porch from water going under it from not cleaning the gutters for so long you're right they don't care about anything except a scratch on the wall or a leak under your sink they won't even look at the real Plumbing. The way I see it is landlord's getting richer by renting substandard housing and never fixing anything! While HUD is supposed to be quality housing at an affordable price it's not where I live
What is the sound track love it
Can a dining room be made in to a bedroom?
How well do section 8 tenants maintain the place?
hello, the link for the checklist isnt working for some reason. I tried looking it up on my own but no luck. Can you type it here again. Please!
Can’t find that checklist online with the description any update?
I'm trying to get a studio that has no oven, only a microwave.
Great job .
Hey u have house for section 8 cuss we need a house cuss we been accepted by section 8.
He's amazing ❤
Hey there - the checklist link I think no longer is active. Any ideas where I can find these documents?
Where can we get a PDF of this checklist?
Where I live it's hard to find housing that's decent who will accept sec 8 in Wisconsin
How many beds do you have what could you turn into a bed do you have people sleeping up in the ceilings the section 8 inspector will always find a reason to get rid of you and you will not get a fair fight in court remember you're homeless
yeah, my Moms apt will like NEVER REPLACE TERMITE CABINETS! NEVER!!!
I didn't think any government have any right to tell a home owner who it whom to rent their houses to.
I know it is an outrage. Not in all states though
Not all on section 8 trash the place...Its a shame that a few bad apples ruin it gor those who really need apartments,I am a section 8 recepeint because of a disability,bit even i have few disabilities anyone that who has been in my home slways say how nice and clean and cozy i keep it.I dont understand why if this is where you live and lay your heads down there why you thrash it,I get you dont own the place,but as you rent there its your home,So i seen it on both sides of the coins, i have seen people have trashed where they live and i have seen people who are obsessed making sure where they live that you could eat off there floors,but i have seen this with non section 8 people,so what it comes to is the people in general ,some are clean, some are gross, Hopefully all the renters you like to live in clean ccmfotable placr
Nice place
WAY WAYtoohood for section 8!!!
I live in Australia l cant believe this is section 8. I have wached a lot of documentries on people who are working on monimum wage jobs. And they are living in something you wouldn't put your dog in. I cant believe how luxurious this place is. Whats more it will be destroyed in 6 months.!
I wish u were my landlord!! Your so handsome and cute 😍 u could enter unannounced anytime u want 😘
Do you need vents in each bedroom?
Vents or a window
@@reptilewizz thank you
Do they see if oven works
Yes they turned on my oven and checked all four burners
Estos apart bonitos no te dan el voucher para ellos los de sección 8 quieren q agarres cuartos viejos y feos bueno yo soy Texana y nunca me agarraron sección 8 en estos apart.en El Paso Tx
I live in Australia, we don't have section 8 here. Is this stunning property what they really get! This is what the taxpayers are subsidising! OUTRAGEOUS!
You have to understand this helps people with disabilities, senior citizens and single mothers.
@@caroleejohnson1553 l just fail to understand why it has to be so luxurious?!
@@galegrazutis964 That's property value.A shit hole brings down the owners property value.That is senseless.Not all Section 8s are this nice.They have a list of standards.Wouldn't you want to live somewhere safe and secure?🤔
@@caroleejohnson1553 ABSOLUTELY but this is a little to much
100% free and section 8 is basically full of females begging government to find them.
outlets
Smoke detectors
windows
hot water
stove
refrigerator (clean out)
toilet
shower
vent fan
This Gentleman did a good inspection and He seems to care. Just My opinion but if I had properties as nice as this I WOULD'T take section 8. The lack of moral character today is the reason why. People are generally ignorant and Don't care about other people's property. Fact from an Experienced Landlord of 10 Years.
Other people owe me everything. I want someone who is working 2 jobs to support my life style. Free housing, free food, free education. I sleep until noon. I got 3 baby mamas to visit
You must be trolling 👎🏽
Love it BRILLIANT COMMENT SPOT ON!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
To nice they are going to tare that house apart lol man
That would be nice to say don’t care about your
Tenets that’s what wrong with some of you landlords
?
Swap meet sec 8 community test
This. Gril. Put. In. Application. For. Apt. And. They. Told. Her. She. Approve. For. The. Apt. But. She. Didn't. Take. Her. Section 8. Voucher
Please think twice about putting the microwave above the stove. It's dangerous for the elderly and short people.
SECTION 8 CHECKLIST:
1. NEVER rent to section 8
To all the people trying to control all of the housing.. are y’all going to do all this work?? Or trust people, cheating through life to do it?? (I know y’all trust me, but y’all don’t want me to be able to provide for myself, and children though 🤣🤣🎯🎯🇺🇸🇺🇸)
🦶🏼‼️
You have to replace the section 8 lightbulbs. The tenant can not do that. Unreal. Come take care of my house for nothing. My money pays for this shit.
the alternative is people breaking in YOUR house
We can’t even understand you
NOT VERY GOOD THIS SECTION 8 PROGRAM.
The housing authority program is not so good either but we have no choice since there is no rent control)
