House for rent section 8?

Question

I'm looking for a house (duplex, condo, or town home) to rent in my city. What can I do besides representing myself properly to encourage home owners to rent to me. Also where can I find free listings? Many I have seen required a fee. (Looking in San Gabriel Valley/ Los Angeles County)

Answer 1

.  This has been a problem for 30 years.  You are approved for Sec 8.  Where can you find a list of properties available today.  You can not.  You have to call on every home for rent unless they already say Sec 8 OK.  It's a pain.

Answer 2

Are you QUALIFIED for section 8? Normally, when you qualify, you'll be given a LIST of places that accept Section 8 vouchers.

If you have no kids, you won't get Section 8.

Answer 3

Try Craigslist or gosection8.com

Answer 4

I have a few section 8 properties and the city where I live,  that approved my houses for section give out a list with the names of all the section 8 properties in the area.  I don't know anything about a fee, but my rent is 550 a month with a 600 deposit.  The section 8  people pay a portion to all of the rent for the people approved for section 8
