I thought section 8 rent was paid to the landlord by the government?


A good portion of it is, like 70%.

Resident has to pay the rest.

The genesis of this problem is likely a crappy section 8 administrator in Shreveport who allowed the residence to remain without keeping up their end of the bargain. Section 8 has some pretty decent requirements that tenants must follow in order to have the government pay their 70%.

Gotcha, I thought gov't paid 100%. I assume the $ goes straight to the landlord and not to the tenant?

Came here to answer this question, sometimes section 8 will pay the full 100% but regardless the rent is severely reduced.

Side note: Lived for a short period of time in Section 8 housing, was sort of like a "scared straight" program.

They might have their hands tied if the owner is in NYC and won't even communicate.
