Hi Prospects & Friends!
If you're on Section 8 housing, understand with each apartment there is a requirement for a inspection of the unit you choose, and if it fails the section 8 housing inspection, then you will have to find another apartment. Majority of landlords have their apartment complexes in compliance already with the Section 8 housing inspection rules, but from time to time there will be a situation where the apartment complex won't comply, and it will cause issues with you getting to live there, due to Section 8 housing rejecting the unit, because of failing there inspection. Best way to get ahead of these issues, are just know the timeline of your voucher and plan accordingly against the apartment unit you want. Doing this will avoid these inspection issues, if for example your timeline is 6 months, and within 90 days Section 8 housing wants the inspection done on the unit your choosing, and it fails then you can quickly proceed to finding another apartment and let Section 8 housing immediately know so they can adjust the voucher to proceed with a new inspection on the other unit, since it's within your 6 month timeline. Avoid doing inspections within the 90 days nearing the 6 month timeline, so if the inspection fails, then your timeline of 6 months to locate your apartment won't elapse. This will also cause you to roll over to a month to month in your current place, if the lease expired, and you haven't moved yet. So inconclusion pay close attention to your Section 8 housing inspections, and timelines and this will prevent elapses or you under duress, due to not knowing what to do next, if the inspection fails.
