Besides working for Rentec Direct as the Social Media Director I'm also a landlord and as such I try to pay close attention to the ever changing rental property and landlord/tenant laws. My friend, also a landlord, has a rental property that is currently vacant and she was asking me just yesterday about renting to people on HUD/Section 8 and what the laws are about the requirements to consider Section 8 applicants and getting a rental property "approved" by HUD.  I didn't have all the answers she was looking for but as luck would have it came across an article about The Housing Choice Act which went into effect July 1st, 2014. The Act prohibits landlords from refusing to rent to someone solely based on the fact that they receive federal housing assistance as part of their income.  Let m... 08/04/2014
