i am i current section 8 holder and i was taken by a landlord going thru the section 8 process. With section 8 you are to submit a RTA that can take up to 15 days to inspect the place then another 7 days days to process what the call the rent resonable assement all together this can take up to 28 days because weekends are not included. I have been out of a place since june first due to section 8 and the way they do bussiness. I found a landlord thru section whom wanted 625 per month for a 2br in a nice area my rental protion was 540 (not much help but when your out for work for 4 mos i really comes in handy). the land lord named Dick Gilbert of 2598 ferguson rd would not prcocess the RTA without the full amount a deposit and me signing a lease. I thought this was a bit unusal but like i said i been out of my apt for a while now and my section 8 was about to be taken away. I told this man the only reason i was up there is because section wanted the other landlord to come down on the rent and they refused so at the point he never said the he wld not work with section 8 with the rent. So halfway thru the prcocess i call to let the landlord know that it jiust has to go thru the rent reasonable now he says if section does not want to pay all of 625 he will not come down on the rent and he is keeping my deposit. So now its 28 days later i still dont have a place to live this man has taken all the money i had and section8 tell me its not any of there concern. this man seen me coming a mile away no matter wat your income is section will always asked this landlord to come down cause my caseworker tried to make me think it was my income that did not pass the rent resonable but section 8 would have only paid 85 but after 20 mins of going thru circles see finally looked at MY FILE and not giving general information and said that compaired to other apt in the area the rent is not resonable. the landlord knew from the start that that would happen. Im a single mother i am 26 with a 5 year old daughter i have always worked, i have always maintained a clean apt, i have always complyed with any rules that has been set by section 8. i just stared my job i gave this man my whole first check and still had to borrow money then to taken and this company tells me its not there concern is a slap in the face
