Would you be surprised if I told you all 3 are Section 8 housing?
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%.

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.
