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

My wife used to be a property manager. She knows all about dealing with section 8. She said the government pays 40% of the rent and the property owner can’t evict if they take any of the section 8 payment for that specific apartment.

So a tenant can completely ignore the landlord and not pay a damn thing and the owner can do nothing about it if they keep taking the 40% payments.
