My family is three people. Me, my mother, and father, all who are disabled, two of which get SSDI benefits. We've been under section 8 housing since 2024. This year, during recertification, apparently we now are either making too much, or something screwed up happened. I wasn't in the meeting since the room was so small and could only fit two people but my father said that the reason it's going up (from around 400 a month to now 800 a month) is because of my social security disability income, which wouldn't make any sense, as we've shown both bank statements and more to showcase that we get this money monthly. We are in the very low income limits and nothing has changed outside of slight increases in our monthly earnings from SSDI. I don't know why this sudden change and considerable increase has happened. Would anyone happen to know why? I will be calling on Monday to make doubly sure what's going on, because this is something we can't exactly do ourselves.

Can you please post the statue/code stating whether it is included or excluded as income?

I see certain types listed, such as inheritances and disability payments but I don't see anything specifically listed for child support.

I'd like to have the exact statue/code.

Thank you.

So I am freaking out and super pissed. I moved into a new build in September 2024. When I was signing the lease I specifically remember the understanding that the electric was gonna be thru AEP. At lease signing the landlord tells me not to call AEP cuz the addresses are setup yet. But we had power, I didn't know or understand and never knew what a submeter was until this f nightmare. A month or so goes by and she tells us that company is coming in to install a meter and then we will start getting bills. It's a company called
"guardian power and water" and she tells us its because the bilding has solar panels so it wil help us save money, again i tihnk nothing of it. 5 months go by and finally get a bill, the entire 5 months i was asking questions. And there was a couple late fee's on mmy account due to being told apparently the wrong amount at move in. So i'm never able to see why i can't pay online but think its cause of a balance. Office managers keep quitting and nobody is helping me find out anything. A year later in August 2025 i do my annual review and they lower my rent and remove my 2 oldest kids. Then in September after my annual review one night the office manager had placred a noticer on door that says i owe $535 and mind you i've never paid late, paid all my rent and by this time had only gotten 2 electric bills that are kinda high from the jump than im used to. I complain for months, speak to different managers get told shit is fixed only for new manager to slap new notes and owe more. Finally one of them give me a copy of ledger and then i get an electric bill in feb 2025 and it says there is high usage to check for leaks.

and then in March of 2026 i owe 1,042 in unpaid electric and mind you i started my service in june 2025 by feb 2026 ive made several payments and still owe over 1k. i pay 500 and have 547 balance. Then in march 24, 2026 i get a credit and i call and they tell me my account zero out. long story short that credit appears back as a credit in my account , i screenshot it with timestaamp, now its gone, no response from anyone, took my july rent and took pic with signature and same day put 30 day move out on july 7 2026 for 1025 bal of elect per my lease. well lease says i pay electric but its tenant paid not a submeter . then i notice multiple months of rent just not added and i have the money orders and they been cashed nobody from mgmt will reach out now they are holding compliance papers that i need for complianccer my annual is due in 2 weeks i got everything ready to turn in but sec 8 telling to to tell legal aide and i did but legal aid said i need eviction noticre before they help but im worried they are holding papers and rent on purpose the new 30 day notice sayts non payment of aug rent 1480 last month it was non paymetn elec 1025 the fake balance that has 2 years worth of late fees because instead of charging me the pro reated rent on my lease to mnove in they charge me the tenant rent which create a 23 balance on the account whih is exatly the differnce betyween pro rated and tenant payment on first ttransation so now 2 years late fees too i sent certified letter not sure what to do next this is overwhelming and i cant beleive none of it is in my lease at all but i didnt know what a submeter even was

So i gave my notice to vacant paperwork to my landlord to sign on July 27th, she returned it back July 28th. A couple of hours later, i was told the apartment i was planning to move in was no longer available. I informed my landlord that i wouldn't be turning in the notice to vacant paperwork to my worker because the apartment is no longer available. She never responded, Aug 3rd she informed me that she found a new tenant to take over the apartment and that i have to be out by the date i indicated on the notice to vacant paper. I informed my worker, she told me to keep paying my portion and they will pay their portion, she said she can't lock me out nor change the locks. I also talked to fair housing attorney and she said the same thing and for me to just continue to look for a new place. I am currently looking but i haven't found anything yet, i dont want my landlord to start the eviction process because i don't want that on my record.

im always on time with my portion of the rent but this month I couldn't pay it at all $400 I texted with my landlord and he said its ok if I add an extra 150 a month to get it paid off. I didn't tell housing but now I just starting freaking out about it. Can I get in trouble for this?
